Has Emo Rap Gone a Little Too Far?

Commander-In-Chief - Drake Drizzy Rodgers

There was a time in this country where all you heard on the radio was Gangsta Rap.  Thank the Lord that’s over.  I can appreciate  Gangsta Rap as much as the next guy, but it was just a little depressing after a while.  After Biggie and Tupac died it was obvious that people actually started [...]
