Critique 2: Hip Hop reflects black dysfunctional ghetto culture

I believe that hip hop does support black dysfunctional ghetto culture. The lifestyle the artists live in is portrayed and glorified in their music. When people hear lyrics about hoes, pimps, the black market, hustling, drugs, partying, alcohol, guns gangs and violence, and sex it does not look good to help America prosper. This lifestyle is the dysfunctional underclass and it wouldn't be dysfunctional is there was not a problem with it and it is being glorified to our kids. If we all decided that rappers make their life style look good and decided to join it, there would be bad consequences for the nation. problem areas should not be looked up to, convicts should not be idolized and the black market should not be a career choice. The lifestyle portrayed in many rap songs reflects poor education and life choices. The criminal rebel lifestyle is a threat to American culture and prosperity. These people usually rely on government aid and welfare, many of these artists grew p on these programs, but now they are rich and drive Maybachs. The message they send out is that its okay to be poor, rely on the government but hustle in the streets selling illegal items. Although they produce good music, the entire situation is not good for the country in the long run, especially if it continues to gain popularity and acceptance. The celebration of being underclass and unsuccessful goes against American social values and norms which challenges the changing attitudes and culture regarding ghetto life.
