An opinion on nowadays rappers. Who's with me?

NOWADAYS RAP (Eminem, Lil Wayne, 50 cent and artists of this type) seem easy to relate to. They are disturbing, destructive and immoral in their lyrics and behavior. The singers demonstrate ridiculous degree of confidence, providing even more ridiculous ways of coping with problematic people ("just kill 'em, beat 'em up or 'em") or situations ('f.ck all that $hit man...'). The tone of voice(always confident), the body language demonstrated, etc leave no doubt in the minds of people that that's just how things should be. Not able to reason, people tend to follow the ways of such people, turning them in role models. They begin not giving a *****. OK... however, I do hope that many people realize that RAP ARTISTS ARE PEOPLE WITH A RICH IMAGINATION. If not them, they're producers, ghost writers or some1 else. No, I do not think they smoke a lot of weed, drink, have a lot of , use guns or misbehave for real. These are careful, deliberately emitted mesaages in their songs that only aim at mythologizing rappers. It's also a clever way of making a strong impression: "Hey, look at me, I can do whatever I want and get whaever I want at the same time!" Nope! Artists are workaholics, they have to be! Do you think that all these albums, videos, interviews, movies, brand starts, etc. materialize out of thin air? Being able to cope with so much stres and work requires you to alwyas try being at your maximum. A healthy body and mind. The rest is to put dust in the eyes of the average person. Also, most of these people are just businessmen rather than artists. They know how to make money by taking advantage of the crowd's mood and preferences. That's all they have to do to be popular and successful. All the cribs, bloods business?!?!? Who needs that?!?!?
