the evolution of rap produced a culture that has a need to be rich; or to appear rich in the smallest sense. black guys driving in escalades, chrysler m's, bmw's, and most importantly, older luxury cars like acuras only have it for the name. Its just to look sophisticated and its being perpetuated by the continuation of the culture. its what we think is required of us. when 110% of your paycheck goes into a car, youre probably a d-bag. rappers rap about that shit because thats all they know; theyre ****in idiots. Its almost discgraceful to listen to a rapper talk because its such a monumental ****in task. some exceptions exist like LL and the conscience rappers.
