What amazes me in hiphop culture is it's popularty among women aswell given the extreme disrespect and degradation of woman in the 'scene'. Seems like feminism has lost this generation.
You are right... and your last point is dead-on. Nevertheless, I still find it entertaining when I see a white-bread high school kid who was the image of Beaver Cleaver the year before pimping out a Honda, blasting Eminem, and riding around with his seat fully reclined and sneering.
