you gotta understand rap and music IS ART. I've seen r&b girls sing about being cheated on when they never have been. I've seen rockstars talk about heaven when they've never been there. It's all art. Rappers can talk about guns if they want, art is whatever you see it as. Like eminem said "I am whatever you say I am". People can take art however they want. If 32093240 rappers talk about guns than that's the message they're getting across. Life does imitate art, but art is any type of expression. INCLUDING TALKING. You can't slap a limit on what people can talk about because people don't have a strong enough mind. If I told you everytime you use the word 'the' I wanted to kill somebody would you stop? Sometimes you gotta get your shit out there. Tupac never killed a man in his life, but he has in his songs. Music is music. You wanna stop the violence rap causes? The shit is inside the people.
