good point and I'm on target with you krzy, all the way. It's not that hard for everyone to make it, at least a meal ticket, BUT for those who have been stuck since they were kids might not see any other way, this was my point... some peeps are like "gangsta rap is gay" and I don't see that... I see "some" of them as being promoters of truth, look at mac mall and his "war on drugs" track
<font color=red>"the war on drugs is a joke, but I ain't tryin to sell no mo dope in the year 2 triple 0"</font>
He's a "gangsta rapper" so to say, but he promotes a positive image that CAN and IS looked up to. there are a bunch of phony ass imitators who are "gangsta" rappers as they proclaim themselves, but it's all studio for radio play and the "shock factor" but TRU gangsta rap has it's place bro.
It is time for things to get better, but that's one of the reasons gangsta rap has it's place. If it weren't for gangsta rap, then the nation probably wouldn't have taken the stand that we did when rodney king was beaten and tazered over and over, it gives the people their power back, if even for the 4 minutes and 30 seconds that it is... if it weren't for gangsta rap, we would not have had the way paved for this genre of music that we know as rap today.... everyone loves eminem and dr. dre, but what did dre start as? one if the first popular gangsta rappers around,
I know what your sayin, and I feel that 1000% and I think that the real deal is in the middle.
