It makes you aware of the things that inner city youth go through constantly. That the life that they lived is really like this. Hip-Hop is so much more then gang bangin and smashin girl, but about the realities that go on in the lives of the poorer people. That maybe we should look at someone else's situation before we say that we had it rough growin up!!
This has nothing to do with race. It is not a white or blacc thing but about the inner city youth who just so happen to be majority Blaccs and Hispanics. That white people can live just as bad as any blacc person.

Life in the inner city, it is the voice of the people of color, I'm white as rice but I can appreciate it growing up in the inner city during the riots of the 60's.
Don't show your ignorance, I'm actuall still a Beatles fan, but I'd rather listen to snoop than some country western crap any day.

Uhh...gang affiliation, racism, drug use, idiots who can't make a "th" sound, and choose to replace it with a "d."
IE: Dat hoe iz fine.
SHOULD BE: That girl is pretty.
But no really, it has raised awareness about racism, substance abuse, and gang affiliation. Poverty too.

It has made me aware how ignorant the rap lyrics are and how degrading they are to young women and how they promote drug and alcohol use and abuse and the seeling of illegal narcotics. Not once have I ever heard a rap song that says stay in school, treat women right, marry a woman and love her forever, don't sleep with her outside of marriage or even worse have multiple partners. Have you?

Oh good lord. I don't get awareness, news, advice or anything else from people who do hiphop.

That all black people can't sing? It all comes down to prejudice, Lot's of people thought that prejudice had gone away because they moved to the suburbs. You don't notice it when you don't have any minorities living anywhere around you.

More than anything nowadays, it's how much bling each artist wears. Tupac, one of the best, had lots of meaningful lyrics outside of his gangster-rap core, mostly about respecting women, as he appreciated how much his single mother sacrificed for him and his family although she was a crack fiend at times.
