MTV's attitude is something like this, "Well, we could play this creative, thoughtful, and inventive video from Audioslave (Who isn't doing too bad on the charts right now) but instead I think we'll play this video that has a lot of half naked girls dancing while 3 people attempt to rhyme words and grab their dicks." Not that i'm against half naked women but damn, there's only so much of that shit I can stomach before I look for something that has meaning. MTV interviews Dave Grohl for all their little VH-1 specials but won't even play his video? Pathetic.

BulletBob, thank god for you.
Finally, someone who actually gets it. Jeez. I've had the same basic thesis for quite a while now, and no one's ever really understood what the hell I've been talking about.
Good call, BB. I salute you.
As for the whole "authority figures" thing, every single rapper out there says that he's a "gangster" or "thug," meaning someone who holds the law in complete and utter disregard.
...hmm...
