Love it or hate it, a gangsta rap mogul has been recognized by the library of Congress. The chronic by Dr Dre is now included in the library of Congress. Many have labeled it misogynistic, racist, and pro-criminal, but it's impact on society is none the less obvious. I will be arguing that gangsta rap was a form of neo-journalism that was very much needed in society. Before gangsta rap, most white middle-class Americans had no idea of the social pressures that plagued low-income inner city youths, most especially black youths. Gangsta Rap was a medium that brought the social attitudes of inner city black youths front and center and showcased these attitudes for all to see. Love it or hate it, gangsta rap gave all of us an insight into the lives and struggles of the low-income inner city black youths.

As for rap, I do not consider it music, and it probably has a very negative influence both on people's musical taste and the culture in general - listening to songs glorifying committing crimes is hardly healthy.
There are far better ways to express how one feels through songs; the entire genre of blues is fundamentally dedicated exactly to that - expressing one's life grievances in a melancholic way. And, unlike rap, blues actually has a very rich musical theory and culture behind it. Is this not a better way to express one's feelings?
If black people blasted this kind of music from their cars' speakers instead of rap... Oh well.

I don’t buy that , I think white middle class were always aware but didn’t really care this made them care less and actually made them even more wary of blacks .......
I don’t know how lyrics like such help the “cause” in any way ......
Ice Cube and them niggas with the 'tudes

Geto Boys, we was like to the law

Drive by shooting , f—k the law , and rape women , we all get the anger but what its really saying is to be one of us this is what you got to do and f—k everyone else .
Gangsta rap is the self pitying , self entitled cry of people that love to play the victim card and use colour to justify their allegedly dire circumstances and of course any one who says the opposite is normally branded a racist
Gangsta rap regards “artistic merit “ I put in the same category as “Christian rock” the hard thing is deciding which is more dreadful
