Real world doesn't helps against stereotyping either...

Reinforces what stereotype ? He's worth hundreds of millions of dollars whilst rapping about selling drugs and killing people like he does it on a daily basis , he's the definition of contradiction. The majority of his sales come from white people in the suburbs who believe that multi-milionaire gangster rappers exist.

50 Cent is as real as Rambo and Terminator.

I hate to break this to you, but they do exist. How many rappers are now in jail for pulling out guns and blowing away people they know? Hmmm...

This doesn't represent the majority of African Americans, particularly not the people I work with, go to church with, etc. But having people out there like 50 Cent probably does a heck of a lot more damage than a character like Cole in GOW... someone with guts, raw talent at what he specializes in, and a never say quit attitude.

 

 What's your definition of rapper ? anyone who can rhyme "Cat" with  "Mat" can consider themselves a rapper.How many rappers have done positive and constructive things like giving back to their communities,anti gun/knife crime campaigns? We wouldn't know considering the media doesn't care about that.

 I'm talking about people most often in the media spotlight , the most influencial names in Hip Hop Jay Z,50 Cent,Nas,Snoop Dog , they portray themselves as "Hustlas","Gangstas" and "Pimps" when in a actual fact they're nothing of the sort , just products being tailor made to the consumers needs.
