no, im not saying the corporate guys wrote the words or anything, but they promoted it and created a market for it. it tapped into the ethnic community in los angeles (and all the gang members etc) and exploited the likes because that was a fantasy that many adolecents dreamed of, being tuff gang bangers who smoked crack and drove lowriders...before that was promoted hip hop was (and should always be) associated with positivity
i listen to all types of hip hop and i know my roots fairly well, not well enough to know everything, but enough to know why shit is the way it is now
what do you listen to?
