I'm mostly into metal, but I enjoy rap music in the right setting such as when going out or pre-gaming. However, and I'm not sure if it's because I'm getting older and/or starting to reject even more of what mainstream society thrusts upon the populace, I have trouble stomaching the glorification of hard drugs in rap. It used to not be big deal, I don't mind references to drinking and pot smoking but now it's all about pills and lean, etc. I'm sure it's a multifaceted issue involving problems with society and young people being more depressed than ever, but I don't get it. Here are some links if anyone is interested in looking at it further

I agree with you. It might have something to do with the record labels & their sinister agendas. But I guess that's the conspiracy theorist in me.
