Yeah, good point. D: It bothers me with all the songs about sex, drugs, money, whatever-other-stereotypical-thing possible. And a lot today is all about kids and teenagers doing all that.
I'll take a rough rap song that has a deep meaning over a well-produced rap song that's just a mishmash of pop-culture lyrics.
