What worries me about the psuedo Thug image that is often personified in Hip-Hop culture is the young man who does not understand that rappers are actors.
The rappers say it themselves, every time someone takes their fake lifestyle and actually commits a crime and they are blamed for it. They say, "well no one sues Al Pacino for his role in Scarface or The Godfather, I'm just like them." Only difference is that when those actors come off screen, they become themselves, the rappers have no sense of self and thus you have Lil Wayne's recent interview with Katie Couric. Thoughts?
