Quote:How much of "gangsta rap" is describing what they've seen in their lives, as opposed to glorifying it?

 

Besides, absent any other evidence, why is this inferred in this thread?

Regardless of whether they're just talking about their life or glorifying it is not relevant to a youth population who sees it as being glorified. And to say it's not shows that you know nothing outside of your socioeconomic group.

 

Also, you all keep saying crime is down. That's true for the crimes we know about. There's a lot of stuff that goes down that no one ever hears about. And that goes for every socioeconomic background and every crime.
