then you have a very limited selection of rap that you have listened to.... some albums, like Outkasts first (Southernplayalisticadillacmusic) does have some gansta to it, but embodies a much bigger movement and the emotions associated with the subject - it's a very angry album yet the ideas and statements are intelligently spoken and convey alot more than just G's and Hoes shit... struggle of the blacks in the South, ect. or listen to common or Eminem and tell me they don't have emotion that strikes you as well written...
