All about perception
I believe that it's really rather your own perception on things rather than it being the fault of the whatever the song, film, show etc is.
Ah but isn't that a problem on your part rather than the artist themselves? You've chosen to assume that all rap is like that on the basis of what you've seen on TV, it's sort of similar to a foreign person calling you an idiot and then you assuming that all foreigners are like that. I'm not saying that you are right or wrong for doing that but I personally don't think that they are ruining any image because they can portray themselves how they want to do so, people just choose to think that one or two are somehow representative of the genre as a whole. This isn't only in just hip-hop/rap but in other genres as well and even other mediums.It does ruin its image. I know for people like me rap seems to be all nonsensical mouthspouting about cars, drugs, money, hoes, and being gangsta. That is the only rap I ever heard on TV, the radio, and from my friends. So I assumed that all rap was like that. I still hate that stuff (Lil Wayne, Drake, etc.) That type of rap is so popular that I had to find other rap by myself.
