3. Gansta Rappers

They run with gangs, they live in the hood, they'll bust a cap in yo ass if you diss their *insert something to diss here*, and they'll bust a rhyme all over yo ass whilst doing it. They are the OG rappers. Original gangsta.

That I have no problem with. But 50 Cent and Snoop Dogg don't live in the hood. They live in a hood. Surrounded by nice cars, swimming pools, plasma TVs, as much money as they can eat. I've seen it on Cribs (unfortunately). They live in horrible opulence, just like every other celebrity.

Yet the famous rappers, who once talked from the streets, somehow continue to talk from the streets, despite no longer having anything to do with their poorer, less famous brethern. They still rap about the hood and gangs and low riders and hoes. But all they have now is the hoes. And you can't rap entirely about them. Though a lot of them seem to be heading that way.

My point, as always, is they're not as hardcore as they pretend to be. Until they lose all their money, cars, and women, and are forced back onto the streets, they cannot produce anything meaningful. End communication.
