Quintessa, I appreciate your thoughtful article on Rap music. Just as your article says. Most of these guys don't live their lyrics.

These artist use Rap to get out of the hood. Don't come back wearing $50,00 worth of jewelry and post up at a restaurant in the hood. You become a Mark not an Influencer.

Rap music will never die, but the artist that creates it need to use common sense so they don't die either.
