Suave Bro, on this one, we agree. I feel what you are saying about people doing what they do for cash and not for truth. I guess maybe I have allowed myself to get sucked into the "coffee shop" rap so much that I forget the image that bling bling/gangsta rappers put out there. I guess instead of using the "expression of where it comes from" phrase, I should use "expression of WHO it comes from." I think 50 probably believes he is truly expressing himself when he says stuff because that seems to be the only thing HE cares about, but you are right. That is not the reality your everyday person experiences, and it sends out a bad message to everyone who doesn't know the difference. Good point.
