*Sigh* Here we go again. Rap is unique in that way because a large
percentage of its artists speak actual shit. The "keep it real"
movement or whatever you want to call it. NWA were some of the first
to be on this. And YOU are crazy if you think rap isn't unique in
that way. Why do you think Rick Ross being "exposed" is even a topic
of discussion. Why do you think people get called out for rapping
shit that they ain't about? Does this happen in rock? It doesn't
happen to actors because they're fucking actors.
