Canibus, he's only been to the army...idk if that counts but he raps about chemistry, math, scientific shit, the Romans, bible...closest thing I've heard him say something about a gun was "only time I'll give you the finger is behind the trigger of a gun" or something like that

Ah see... i'm not saying they NEVER have, in my previous post i said about eminem... of course, i understand a lot of people get into rap music by the writing about their struggle, i agree with you there, not all struggles are based around guns, prison, and drugs. Im not hating on you here Dos, it's all opinion, as are yours, and nobody is wrong

Youre annoying me. Open your mind. Yeah, get famous from rapping about the struggle, stay famous by rapping about entertaining clever shit. If all they rap about is the struggle then shit is FUCKING BORING. We've all seen 8 mile, heard 8 mile, and by the sounds of things you've fucked 8 mile in the ass. You could be the fakest emcee on this INTERNET WEBSITE.

look at all my posts.
if you've been broke as a joke---that's a struggle.
if you have been homeless--that's a struggle.
if you have been harassed by police--that's a struggle.
but if you grew up in a suburban neighborhood, went to a private school, and had your parents buy you your first car---PUT THE FUCKING MIC DOWN.

Take Rick Ross for example. The fat fucker talks about selling drugs and being a king pin. In real life? That motherfucker was a Correctional Officer. He will never get my respect.

everyone has struggled with something in life...
but I'm talking abour REAL struggles. by that, I mean:
being homeless
being broke as fuck
losing a loved one due to drugs
losing a loved one due to murder
growing up in a rough neighborhood
having someone in your family who abuses you
Things like that...
