this is a tough subject and id have to agree, it is a double sided sword. cuz theres gonna be those people who hear an artist like eminem or ja rule or nelly and thats all there ever gonna listen to, and theres gonna be those who will hear those artists and not only be turned onto mainstream rap but theyll also start listening to more underground shit with more meaning in it. so yea some people are gunna have a false image of the hip hop culture, but therll people who are gunna ave a real sense of rap too
