Its popular because rap is popular. The media and television (for whatever reason) seem to portray this subgenre more than any of the others. It just so happens that it is filled with negative stereotypes. It has ruled the airwaves for so long that casual listeners and people that don't even like rap think it is the only type that exists. It is truly sad; for every misogynistic song you hear on the radio or see on tv, there is a rapper actually talking about something intelligent and thought provoking. But the tastes of hip hop fans change ever so quickly, and with artists like Kanye West and Common leading the charge of the socially conscious rappers, I wouldn't be surprised if gansta rap loses some of its influence.

Good marketing. It markets a "thug" lifestyle. Misguided young men feel a need to prove their manhood by adopting this lifestyle. Note the word "misguided"
