Even though the media does not give them as much coverage, there are a number of positive gangsta' influences on rap. The rapper's who rap about and give out positive messages do not seem to get as much media coverage for some reason. There are some gangsta' rappers that do have some positive songs, but you do not hear about those songs because the media is focusing on the negativity of the others songs and lyrics. In this paper I want to point out and show how some gangsta' rappers do try and deliver positive messages but do not get any backing from the media.
People tend to only associate gangsta' rap with beating women, killing another man and drug dealing.
Man I'm ready to give this shit up. You what, you can smoke a pound of bud a week and have all the bitches you want. Man fuck that shit. Lyrics like these don't get any air play because of the cursing. Media would rather concentrate on him calling a female a name rather than look at the message that the song is delivering.
