it really isn't a bigger deal than Pete Townsend disavowing 'hope I die before I get old' but because of racial double-standards it will be portrayed as such by some.

But I guess folks would rather their favorite rappers not evolve past the type of mentality that led to them saying 'no matter how much loot I get I'm staying in the projects, forever' then ending up in the prison system long after financially achieving the freedom to live in a nice home.
