I have to write a speech for my Public Speaking class, and I'm writing about stereotypes. One of my topics is how rap isn't all about sex, drugs, pimps, drinking, clubbing, etc. I need an example, but I don't listen to rap, so I'm hoping somebody could help me out and give me an example of a rap song that doesn't have to do with the aforementioned topics. Also, make sure you tell me what the song is dealing with. If you can help me, thanks a bundle!

No, rap is stereotyped for a reason... A GOOD REASON AT THAT... Anyone that stereotypes rap has every right to because what is it is the strongest in each of those categories you named... SEX, MONEY, HOES, CLUBS, DRINKING, ETC... Hip hop is dying right now and that's one of the reasons... I love hip hop but it can't be defended at the moment because that's the state of hip hop......

And 2Pac was a hypocrite... Just as much as he tried to portray a "real image" he sold out... Just as many songs he had that couldn't be classified under the stereotype of what hip hop is today, he had that many songs that did fit under that classification.......

I understand that. All Im saying is why is rap just a target. Is it because it stands out more these days. I guess what Im trying to say is it was cool to talk about all the above categories until it got into the hands Suburban america.
