Pimp Lifestyle Rules Rap But Triggers Flap

Ten years ago, it seemed as if every rapper wanted to be a gangsta. Now, everyone wants to be a pimp. “Rappers just always want to be something bad,” said producer-rapper Jermaine Dupri, who’s touted himself as a “young pimp” in his own lyrics. “Just the same way rappers want to be gangstas, rappers want to be pimps.” Snoop Dogg added, “It’s cool to look good, it’s cool to have girls on your arm, and get money from them, and that’s a good feeling, you dig? There ain’t nothing wrong with it.”
