Many young inner city children listen to rap music, they watch sports figures and movie stars constantly do illegal crimes and get away with a slap on the wrists. For example rapper Tupac Shakur was one powerful figure in the rap community many young kids looked up to him. But he continued to potray a thug image and was shot several times on several different occasions before finally dying from a violent act of crime. But to many young boys he was "cool" and they all wanted to be like him "real" is what they called it in the streets. And even though as parents our hard earned money was spent supporting these rappers and buying their albums for our kids or providing them with money to support these rappers. The rappers do not care, they continue to get caught with guns, commit crimes, and behave inappropriatly in front of the youth. The rappers feel they have no obligation to these kids who listen to their music.
