555, You just laid out a decade of American history Posted by ehjay, Fri Jul-02-04 06:20 AM
Picked out a few facts relevant to your point of view and called it that a convincing argument. Understand that not as simple as that. Coincidence? Yeah, very well could be - that was no history lesson, please...
I understand what you are getting at - and there is definitely truth in it. But the rise of gangsta rap was also a musical trend, like any trend in popular music.
Consider this: if black gangsterism in music is The Truth - the real story of the modern black experience - why is the audience vastly white?
