I agree, but I disagree. Yes, regular people like ourselves contradict ourselves all to often, but we make an effort to stand by what we believe in, correct? When you're on 2pacs level, hypocracy is something you need to stay away from because you are a role model to the young. That is like Obama contradicting himself. Would it make his hypocracy right just because we as citizens contradict ourselves? See where I'm getting at? I respect what 2pac was doing for our society, but if he never pulled some of the stuff he did, he might have been held on the Level of Mr. X or maybe even MLK.
I guess it depends on how you look at a rapper. if you look at a rapper as role model, which i dont'. then he should be responsible for his actions, and what he says. but i just look at these guys as entertainers. but i know right from wrong. I feel bad for the kid from the hood that lives in a single parent household, and heres these bad messsages and doesnt know right from wrong...and looks up to gangsta rappers, and takes what they say literally.
