They are selling a lie as they don't have that life.
Marvin Gaye etc sang "whats going on" which was an equivilant to "imagine" i.e. about something.
Rap makes out that the guy with a minimum pay job is a loser and the "player" or "gansta" is the guy with the life to emulate. great message man?
You have an opinion and I respect that BUT my opinion is right
