OMG...really?? Were critiquing the spelling of slang now?.... I dont see the problem with the content of rap. Most the content is the same as any music just more direct and offensive to some. Did Hendrix in his song "Hey Joe" not talk about having a gun and shooting his ol lady? Its in every music there is just about just in different forms. The only problem I have somewhat is the front some put on in what they rap about. Kind of like my preffered genre the Blues. How can you sing or write about it if youve never lived? Just doesnt seem near as genuine to me if I cant find any real relation between the rappers music and his lifestyle. One of the reasons I like Pac and Biggie. They stuck so close to what they rapped about it cost them their lives. I dont know there was always something going on that they were caught up in back when these two, and a lot of others from death row were getting big. Always some arrest story or casino fight or someone getting hung out the window of a 20 story building. Then you would hear about it in their music taunting and threating the other one about something that went down. What happened to that or am I just in the dark now a days? Or maybe they just dont get the publicity Biggie and Pac and several others got back then.

Ha ha, easily. In a second I would rap about anything that people wanted to hear even if it had nothing to do with my lifestyle. I wouldn't put it under my name, I would use some ****ty pseudonym and slap 'lil' or 'Dr' in front, make a few million, then 'fall off' the mainstream when I had enough money to live comfortably. I would then sit in my beach house and create music that is meaningful to me. 90% of the people listening to rap aren't performing background checks to see if slim shady actually murdered his guinea pig and stuck him in the microwave.
