Most artless rap is gang assimilation music-war chant- pack mentality. When an animal lacks the ability to think it's way around a problem, it usually resorts to violence to get it's way. Untalented musicians use powerfull ego displays and curt lyrics to convince "spineless" members of a tribe that they are hip.

Most "Gangsta" Rappers have grown up in and lived under conditions that you and I will never comprehend, Drug addiction,Drive-by shootings,Crime,Gangs,Prostitution,AIDS.Physical + Mental Abuse,Broken Families.And the people that are supposed to "help" them (the Police) usually turn a blind Eye.When They talk about violence, it is a product of their world. Do them "glamorize" it? Sure they do. But Is it any different than The way nations glamourize war, and Their own Military forces?
