First of all, I'm not sure if you're implying this but this sounds like the typical implication of rap as being an extremely influential source for youths and even adults which should be dropped because this idea is only fed to us when there's usually a (mostly black) string of incidents (Don Imus, Jena Six, The Nooses, etc.) that puts hip hop as a whole in a state of emergency and people need a place to put their blame. So, I have two answers to your question, hip hop music is not the source, even the agitator of the state of our generation and that should be traced back to more influential sources like the upbringing of the majority of the generation. If you didn't imply this and I wrote this all for nothing, then my answer is that they must be really misguided by material possessions, sex, money, etc. "Corrupted Youth"

jus playin...
sorry if u weren't implying what I stated in my answer but I'm jus fed up with the foolishness that "The Man", lol, tries to fill the minds of the American community with to redirect their problems toward the black community...no offense white ppls
Don Imus sucks...
That all we live for is to sleep around and womanize.
to me it says " im trying to stand out so somebody will notice me".
I think our kids are going to look back on it and think we were all in bars with strippers while doing crack, thanks to half of these rap songs. Rappers need to start writing lyrics, not just something that rhymes with weed. All it's teaching is how to be womanizing, drug-addict pigs.
Just try to get attention and make sure everyone else can hear what I'm hearing:) hey I'm not like this i just pictured my self like that:) OK
I agree with mistah wattz in the aspect of hip hop being a scapegoat for a string of events but i also realize that wasnt what you were implying. The music we make and listen to is a reflection of our society. Right now what it says to me is" We're rude, crude, unintellegent but we dont really care either."
