Horrible title, description.Title: THUG CULTURE CELEBRATES THE WORST POSSIBLE EXAMPLESDescription: You've heard of resume inflation? You've heard of people who lie about having Ph.D.s or Ivy League pedigrees in order to get ahead? The world of thug culture has its own perverse equivalent, in which middle-class men with minor legal transgressions exaggerate their bad behavior, claiming to be hard-core degenerates in order to impress youngsters looking for outlaw role models. In this destructive environment, the more violent and predatory you are, the more heroic you seem.
I remember time when children did not know of hookers and pimps because their PARENTS protected them from vile things. Now, we let strangers raise our children and wonder why they don't listen. NOW is the time to change all that. We've been fooled, get up, dust off, and CHANGE it!

That's hilarious. How many thousands of times does he mention being 'locked up' in his songs - and it turns out not even to be true!
