I think "gangsta" rap and similar genres portray a negative stereotype of African-Americans in the media. These are the things white people see and play a large role in their perception of black people. Media in general does this.. look at the movie Brining Down the House it potrays a black woman who was in prison who moves in with a rich white family...what kind of message does this portray to people? Whitie is rich and black people go to prison? I do think there are very positive black rolemodels in hip hop...I just saw a video by Black-eyed Peas and was very impress, I can't remember the name of the song but it even slams Dubya's regime, nothing wrong with that!
