Greetings
I think we have to look at the origins of gangsta rap before we just dismiss it as meaningless talk about guns n violence, groups like NWA, Public Enemy were the forerunners of this movement and they had alot to say abt the world. TuPac, Biggie, Snoop, Dr Dre pushed gansta rap in a different direction and it had a bigger commercial appeal. And nowadays its been commercialised but still you can't deny some of the messages in the music of pple like Jay Z, Fifty Cent, Game etc - personally I dislike 50Cent but I can't deny there is a message in some (not all) of his music. Its a question of whether listeners can filter through all the the jiggy bling crap and hyper-sex talk to choose which gangsta rap is worth listening to and which is pure nonsense...And if you arent into the gangsta stuff, rap is such a diverse music genre there is a whole range to choose from...Bless
