i see what you mean, but on the same token, this hip hop shit shouldn't be viewed as a "movie". it's similar, but not the same. I just can't bump someone who I know hasn't really been through the things they're rapping about. Punchlines and metaphor songs are ok...But if they make a song about hard times, and speak about things they have been through...but really haven't, unless they're telling a story for someone else, i just can't be a fan of them if you want to be a fan, that's fine...
