I'm glad to see the swing towards rapper's proclaiming good messages for their fans off CD.

Though, humorously, it reminds me of when P Diddy told us to vote or he'll kill us.

Hey, Public Enemy did that in the late 80's/early 90's too. :p

And for the most part, until Kanye, I haven't liked a rapper since good ol' PE :p

He isn't one of those "Gangstas".

Very true. He's the kind of guy anyone who listens to rap should try to imintate. He doesn't put on aires, yet he can look appropriate and respectable.
