Credibility is important in every genre, player.
Country artists grew up south of Bakersfield.
Soul artists grew up in the church.
Punk fans hate the police because sting was a poser.
etc...
none of this is unique to rap.
And again... as stupid as I think ppl are...
even I don't think eminem and lil wayne are viewed as life coaches
by ppl that listen to the music.
That would be like a white kid taking advice from ac/dc.
How dumb do you think black kids are?
