[QUOTE="Imaro, post: 3892877, member: 48965"] No...he's presenting a fictitious culture as presented by "gangsta" rap artists (key point being there's a big difference between a gangbanger and someone who raps about gangbangers) that is inspired by true gang culture. Sort of like how much liberty those "based on a true story" movies can take, yet still be assumed truthful by people who see them and choose not to research or further explore what is and isn't fact. Rappers like 50 cent, Snoop Dog, etc. live in mansions do corny comercials and [B] pretend [/B] to live a lifestyle most were never part of from the beginning...you know like an actor. If your only exsposure to hip hop is MTV, I can totally understand why you believe the above to be the case. However just because it's on tv, doesn't make it true and 9 out of 10 times doesn't make it in anyway "realistic". [/QUOTE]
