    T.I. probably the most well spoken rapper ever

    u can hear the same from a lot of others that came up inspired by UGK, but T.I. has vocabulary and is just elaborate on a whole other level

    hes also ridiculously good at derailing questions that could get him in trouble

    I get your point. That's absolutely true. What I meant was that he wasn't helping the problem he was addressing.

    Exactly. I mean making songs about it as artists is one thing, but actually doing it is different.

    How was it a good answer? What other possible answers are there to the question of why rappers tend to glorify guns and gun violence? Because they support the 2nd amendment? The f--- else is literally anyone gonna say to that lol. Ya change the hood, yay. What a visionary!
