S'ok man... Not knowing who tupac is I would consider an intellectual blessing. Biggie and Tupe were just a pair of thugs...and in the grand scheme of musical history... talentless... frankly. Gangsta appeals to the basest...bottom of the septic tank... common denominator Gangsta is nothing more than bravado, hatred, hot air, bragging on male sexual prowess, how much "whatever" they got and you don't, what immoral/ illegal activity they are condoning, how they should be feared, how torn up that their thug friends/ family/ loved ones were just killed by other rival thugs, how the "system" keeps them down and rejects them (wonder why), how they are misunderstood (hardly), and lastly how they lovingly refer and talk/ treat their women or women in general. 1 or 2 or a handful or a 1000 gangsta songs which are benign / benevolent cannot erase the overwhelming amount of base ugliness this genre vomits forth. Least of all the gauche fashion statements they purport . fini to that. As far as choices concerning intelligent, thoughtful, and well researched device purchases by the masses in any country ...well...forgive them for they know (note the one word omission ) what they do.
