Answer 11

who cares ...

Answer 12

actually it wouldnt..95% of what teens listening to regardless of race is rap. gangsta rap as well. im a rapper and what i can say is that while i dont approve of them glorifying killing people and selling drugs, they also talk about making so much money they dont know what to do with it..

this is on contrast of being in America and making easy money (everybody wants to make money by doing nothing) it kind of glorifies it and people like it, teens especially.

rap is not all bad, although i must admit that gangsta rap has its negatives..

its a way of life, not just for black people, who are the most copied race in the world e.g. they were the first people to wear their pants loose (sag) and millions of non-black kids are doing it now.. (im asian btw) so this perspective is not bias.

Answer 13

um, gee lets see.......

YES.

Answer 14

Maybe.

but it would be better if people realized that it's mainly just for entertainment.

Answer 15

Less crime, rapes and guns...

Answer 16

almost certainly.

Answer 17

I don't think so.  I think they would of been better off without it's negative image, but the music itself isn't that bad.  In all honesty, just like rythm and blues (I'm talking the type of R&B BB King plays, not the grosely generic R&B of today), ragtime, etc... Gangsta Rap is just anouther musical contribution given by the AA community.  It's how people perceive that music that makes it positive or negative.

Answer 18

Yes; if i wanted to wallow in shite i'd be a pig !
