I think you have to take the Rap music for what it is ... just entertainment ... i do see a lot of kids that grow up in the burbs wanting to act like they live in the hood and there poor ... not sure why ..every rapper is trying to get out of the hood ... I listen to Tool/RAGE/NIN all the good stuff ... but i also listen to 50/the game/eminem/snoop and Dre ... i think it helps if you you live in NY or LA and see the stuff that they sing about ... for me i had a mentality like that at one point in my life so i understand that feeling of if you want it take it and anyone that gets in your way hurt bad so the next guy just gives it to ya ... and it didn't get me to far ... but i understand the street thing and can enjoy what there doing .... it is creative ..not really in the same way music was 10 years ago ..but they can come up with some funny ways to say things ...

example:
ME: "I carry a gun" ...

Rapper:" I pack Heat Like an oven door" I think thats funny and enjoy it ..

example 2:

Me: "I'll shoot you in the head with my 9mm"

Rapper: "when the times right I'm put this 9 right to the left side ya head and push you mind right" see what i mean?
