Here's my .02, but I want change.

A rapper has a hit and makes tons of money. Now the rapper is no longer part of the victimized population he's been rapping about and supposedly from, he's part of the priviledged class. In order to retain his acceptance in the "crowd", he debases himself by becoming mysoginistic and violent in his lyrics continuing a downward spiral originated by his predecessors.

The more money the rapper makes, the more outlandish he must become. Soon he's a gun toting, drug using, woman abusing thug wannabe. Guns become part of this subculture, as are faceless and emotionless barely clad women, constantly gyrating, inviting men to use and abuse them.

What's sad, is the number of black leaders who don't condemn this behavior because it puts black faces on TV and their voices on the radio. Nevermind the consequences of their followers faces in mug shots.
