Respect your opinion but disagree on the fan core base...break them down for me and then read my comment again.
as far as gangsta rap goes...when i say gangsta rap,i'm not talking about jheri curled dudes in dikkies...for a long time you would not get near a record company's radar if the subject matter was not based on the framework that we call gangsta rap..you can name individual artists all day but in order to appeal to a larger amount of potential listeners the "gangsta" route still was/is viable.GKMC showed a lot of young kids that you can actually get your point across without the hyperbole of "gangsta" rap,older rap listeners knew this already,which is the same reason i feel he has to show a decent amount of growth with his next album..false relates to facts, not opinions based on what you want to see/how you would like things to be..still respect your arguments though
