Rappers and Bloggers: Seperated at Birth!

Rappers and bloggers. Today's narcissists. They're always talking about themselves: their lifestyle, social status, political views, and personal ideas. Rappers are more likely to be talking about their lifestyle and social status. They frequently talk about how much money they have, what kind of car their driving, having "hoes", and doing drugs. This has evolved our youth community, who idolize these artists, into a somewhat violent, uncaring, and selfish group of people. A narcissist is someone who is in love with themselves and when a narcissist is cultural..I guess that means that each cultural group is in their own way in love with themselves. Bloggers, for example, are in love with themselves as to what ios best in today's society. They frequently talk about political ideas or movements, ideas they have come up with to cure the environment, and just about anything else that you can think of. This is due to the accessibility and risk-free environment of online blogs. You have the power to put what you think into words and have them published for the world to see. This makes some people very cocky and arrogant, or as South Park would call it "smug." Overall, I despise both rappers and bloggers, even though i do tend to listen to rap moderately. I just like the music, not exactly the words. Bloggers I just hate because they are so full of themselves. And thats all I have to say about that.
