It seem like everyone want to be a G. And hip hop is definitely to blame. I recently saw about half a dozen youths standing on a street corner sharing a bottle of Moet out of plastic cups. I had to larf. Why not drink the cheap nasty cider? It costs less and gets you p*ssed quicker.

Guys like Diddy and Jay Z are very clever business men, but alot of youths seem to be more interested in to the trapping of the hiphop lifestyle.

I know, if you watch MTV for example, you will see the same thing over and over... Expensive cars, jewelry, champagne, naked girls, all the rappers are talking about drugs, guns, what they are going to do to you if you step on their toe or if not that they are talking about how expensive their pinky ring is and how they have platinum braces.

If this is the only music someone is listening to, if this is all they are seeing on tv, if these are their idols, if this is who they want to be like.. it is going to start effecting them and in a negative way.

I do not think the music is soley to blame, that is obvious, but it does play a part.
