your very true to what your saying, music is too influential to some people, the rap culture is something which black people relate to but lyrics screaming of guns drugs and violence are not easily given up by the young impressionable generation, i dont think every young black person does not want a decent education, i know black people who like rap but want to achieve academically, although there are those who simply want the highest GCSE's they can get if not then try to get a job, i think it varies a little, but i think 'in the hoods' its a diffarent story....
