There is a fine line between hip-hop and rap much like between rock and pop.
Many of the celebrities promote a thug-style/the law is for you not me image. The funny part is many that frown upon it and that it as their mission to censor it...try to live the same way.
Not related directly, but along the same line of thought; I have known of three married men that carry around a bible everywhere they go, attend church at least 2 times a week and on average 3-4 times for various things. Yet these same dudes are always all over all the 20 somethings usually bashing their wife's in one breath while saying they wished they met someone as wholesome as them (these chicks are far from wholesome) earlier in life
It's not hip-hop that's messing up society, nor rap....it's simply parents being friends instead of parents. Kids learn by example, when they see mom and dad getting wasted, driving with roadrage, stealing, etc; they learn. When they do something totally wrong, yet mom and dad defend them from store security, their teachers, other adults who are in the right; it teaches them they are above the law until someone puts them in their place.
