What's with hip-hop/rap?

I was recently in a place in SL where I heard the most stereotypical song that represents literally EVERYTHING I hate about hip-hop/rap culture. These kinds of stereotypes that are glorified--they make it HUGE in sales, tons of people buy it. It's not the rare good artists that are the problem, it's this garbage that makes it in the mainstream and sells like hotcakes.

It's the glorifying of this crap that really pisses me off.

Here are the lyrics:

Quote:
• I'm So Hood • | by DJ Khaled feat. T-Pain, Trick Daddy, Rick Ross & Plies
DJ Khaled We The Best
Who We Nigga
We The Best
The Winner I Represent The Ghetto Across The World
And You Represent The Horde Two Hands In The Sky

(Chorus
I'm So Hood (Listen)
I Wear My Pants Below My Waist
And I Never Dance When I'm In This Place
Cause You And Your Man Is Plannin To Hate (I'm So Hood)
And I Got These Golds Up In My Mouth If You Get Closed Into My House Then You Know What I'm Taking Bout I'm Out The Hood
And If You Feel Me Put Your Hands Up (hood) My Hood Of Niggas Can You Stand Up (I'm So Hood)
If You Not From Here You Can Walk It Out And You Not Hood Then You Don't Know What I'm Talkin Bout

Everybody Wanna Mother Fuckin Know Why I Dress So Fly Sit So High (Bitch)
I Do It For The Hood
Bitch Ass Niggas I Do It Cause I Could
Every Star On My Jeans 4 X On My White Tee
Livin Life Like A G That's Why These Bitch Ass Niggas Wanna Fight Me
Bluck Ain't Goin Play Wit Em'
Nu Uh Brother Left To AK Hit Em'
Tough Niggas Get Fucked Up
And Put On Ice For The Rest Of They Life
I'm Straight Out The Hood Bra
See Thats What I Do It For
My Low Class Ghetto Ass
Just Renewed My Ghetto Ass

(Chorus
I'm So Hood (Yeah)
I Wear My Pants Below My Waist
For The Land That Dance For The Men Up In This Place
Cause You And Your Man Is Plannin To Hate (I'm So Hood)
And I Got These Golds Up In My Mouth If You Get Closed Into My House Then You Know What I'm Taking Bout I'm Out The Hood
And If You Feel Me Put Your Hands Up (hood) My Hood Of Niggas Can You Stand Up (I'm So Hood)
If You Not From Here You Can Walk It Out And You Not Hood Then You Don't Know What I'm Talkin Bout

Ross Yeah 4 5 Off In the Ride
For Plus For Me To Get High
Feel Buck When I Ride By (I'm So Hood)
I Got Em' Hate Talkin Like Plies
Niggas Keep Droppin' Like Flies
Snitchin Ain't Goin Cut No Time (I'm So Hood)
I Murder One Of You Fuck Niggas
Droppin' For You Last
You Knough Comin Mad (I'm So Hood)
For Money For Mahem For Yayo And Millions
I Made Em', The Mayblock Is Mine, The City Is Mine (I'm so Hood)

(Chorus
I'm So Hood (Yeah)
I Wear My Pants Below My Waist
For The Land That Dance For The Men Up In This Place
Cause You And Your Man Is Plannin To Hate (I'm So Hood)
And I Got These Golds Up In My Mouth If You Get Closed Into My House Then You Know What I'm Taking Bout I'm Out The Hood
And If You Feel Me Put Your Hands Up (hood) My Hood Of Niggas Can You Stand Up (I'm So Hood)
If You Not From Here You Can Walk It Out And You Not Hood Then You Don't Know What I'm Talkin Bout

Yeah Damn My P O Ya'll Can Tell I Said It
Violate Me If She Goin Have To Come Catch Me
Piss Test Me All You Want, Ima Smoke When I'm Ready
Pants Hangin Off Me Now Cause My Pistol Heavy (Hood)
I Ain't Spoke To You Yet Dawg, Cause I Ain't Friendly
I Drank Light Homie Ya'll Drink Crisp
I Like Bust'It Baby I Don't Want That Boogie Bitch
I Never Buy A Phantom 28's Can't Fit
They Say I'm Fed Bound, They Call Me High Risk
Ima Full Blooded Goon, Lames Make Me Sick
You Get 3 or 4 Birds Where I'm From We Call You Rich
I'd Like To Thank The Hood Homie You Told Me How I Rip

(Chorus
I'm So Hood (Yeah)
I Wear My Pants Below My Waist
For The Land That Dance For The Men Up In This Place
Cause You And Your Man Is Plannin To Hate (I'm So Hood)
And I Got These Golds Up In My Mouth If You Get Closed Into My House Then You Know What I'm Taking Bout I'm Out The Hood
And If You Feel Me Put Your Hands Up (hood) My Hood Of Niggas Can You Stand Up (I'm So Hood)
If You Not From Here You Can Walk It Out And You Not Hood Then You Don't Know What I'm Talkin Bout

I'm So Hood
Trick Daddy, T-Pain, Rick Ross
Nigga We So Hood
We The Best
DJ Khaled Florida Stand Up
Let's Go
Hood
WTF? Why is this kind of absolute TRASH able to make it to the airwaves? Why is this kind of ABSOLUTE GARBAGE not part of standard conversation of what's wrong with America's youth, on news shows, on other places?

Why is the only place this kind of thing gets talked about is on BET where they have deep discussions, but the overall opinion is that if you speak against this kind of GARBAGE, you're racist. Why?

This is garbage!!!!
