3. When a rapper expresses his emotions about how messed up his life is, and than makes points about how good it is to be able to eat, drink, dream, love, walk, talk and hear cause for some its hard.
4. When a rapper relates to the struggle side of the world and not the industry "im in the club with my thugs shooting the place up".
5. When a rapper follows the good path of the world and not the shit side of the world for example. help people out be a good person, not kill, hurt people you don't know for no good reason.
6. When a rapper relises gangbanging is childish behaviour.
*if a rapper does any one of those things he/she will get my respect.
