That's interesting. I guess the law is becoming more proficient. But still, I think that rap music is instilling this gangster mentality into kids. The crime rate has gone done, but i'm sure the gangster wannabe rate has gone up.
In the 1970s only 201 American cities reported having gangs but by 1998 a total of 1,487 communities reported the presence of gangs. That's an increase of 640% in about 25 years. But over the last decade, that rate seems to have gone down. I guess the law is doing something right.

Rap, Hip Hop, or even the Grunge scene for that matter.
But I actually consider all this to be common knowledge to most music enthusiast already.
Why debate an argument that carries so little value?

Because he hasn't said anything about it. So I decided to bring it to his attention so I could see what he thought about it. :pssst:
