Andre 3000 was arrested for speeding
Wiz got arrested for marijuana possession/trafficking. He's never made his propensity for weed a secret, but you can bet he didn't get arrested on purpose about it.
Most of them don't get arrested on purpose but they aren't ashamed of it either which was my whole point. They use the arrest as part of their street creed and it sends the wrong example to other people. It makes jail more acceptable.
The actual Jay-Z one was pretty harsh, but that was in the 90s, and has since cleaned up his act.
The Eminem one was pretty fucked, too, but seemed more a domestic violence thing than a badass music thing. I dunno about the ICP thing. At any rate, even if you count that as a gimme, most of the ones you linked were drug-related, which are pretty bogus things to be arrested for, anyway, and are not because of thuggery and violence.
How many of those still have pushed the Thug mentality for street cred and have been arrested or in the major news tied to violence at clubs or in their regular life? (This is just listing only 1 of the several arrest for these individuals. They just have good lawyers and people short memories)
Do I need to keep going or are you seeing a trend yet. Great role models. Yes some of the incidents listed are basic pot charges but they are usually with guns and after some sort of violent act. I like several of these acts but you can't seriously say they don't act like thugs some of the time.

This is right up there with "Studies have shown..."
You need to back up your words with evidence. Lyrics, interviews, etc where they are rapping/talking about jail time in a positive light, or what badass thugs they are because of it, or what have you.
Fucking LOLing so hardI have to get back to work stuff.
Rock stars glorify drug use, they glorify fighting and kicking someone's ass, there are songs solely about shooting someone, so why are you choosing rappers as your target? How many black friends do you have?

Why do people always play the race card rather admit to being wrong?
Do you even see the disconnect here?All i said was their culture doesn't make prison enough of a social stigma so prisons are increasingly ineffective for them.
