Gangsta rap made me do it If I take you for granted ain't nothin' to it Gangsta rap made me do it If I f**k up the planet ain't nothin' to it Gangsta rap made me do it. You n**gaz know my pyroclastic flow You n**gaz know my pyroclastic flow flow You n**gaz know my pyroclastic flow It's R A W, R A W. Oh yeah, and another thing For all ya n**gaz.

My InterpretationI think this song goes a little deeper than the actions of Cube. Hes not saying get off my back. Hes really mocking Western Society. Model 3d max devushka 3. Really, were completely morally corrupt. The Didache says 'For in the last days the false prophets and corrupters shall be multiplied, and the sheep shall be turned into wolves, and love shall be turned into hate. For as lawlessness increaseth, they shall hate one another and shall persecute and betray. And then the world-deceiver shall appear as a son of God; and shall work signs and wonders, and the earth shall be delivered into his hands; and he shall do unholy things, which have never been since the world began.

Then all created mankind shall come to the fire of testing, and many shall be offended and perish; but they that endure in their faith shall be saved by the Curse Himself.' I think this time is near. Hes pointing out the fact that every wrong we do, 'its not our fault'. School shooting?

The kid played to many violent video games, its not because he had shitty parents and teachers. Thats just one of many examples. Hes saying that we ignore the truth and look whats happening because of it.

Hes shouting out to us whats really happening in the world around us. General CommentI know I'm probably going to get some hatred over what I'm about to say because I guess most people who read these lyrics are into gangsta rap, but I'm going to give you my two cents anyway. I believe none of the evils in society can be fully attributed to gangsta rap. I do believe though that the youth today is heavily influenced by gangsta rap. You can try to justify the lyrics of gangsta rap all you want, but the fact of the matter is that those lyrics glorify gangbanging, drug dealing, robbery, etc. And there's really no way around it.

I don't know about you but I believe anybody who kills and robs innocent people belongs in jail and not on a record making millions off of it. Now I'm not saying Ice Cube, or most gangsta rappers for that matter, ever killed anybody, but I've heard tons of rap lyrics bragging about how they shoot gats and sell dope.

What I don't get is why do people listen to rap that's the same fake bullshit about guns and crack when there are so many great rap artists out there that don't feel the need to prove their manhood by rapping about criminal stuff? Ever listened to a Lupe Fiasco track? Look up Lupe Fiasco's 'The Coolest' on this website and read the comments discussing THE MEANING of the song (yes, that song actually has a meaning). Check out the great wordplay and metaphors, and compare that song to your average Ice Cube song (Ice Cube is just an example, I have nothing against him is specific.) Doesn't Ice Cube look retarded by comparison? Where is his lyricism? Honestly, a 10 year old could write your average gangsta rap lyrics. Write some sentences about your money, your hoes and your guns, make 'em rhyme and congratulations, you may have just written a succesful song to show on BET.

If you throw in one metaphor you've probably already topped the lyrical value of all of 50 Cent and Young Jeezy's work combined. One last thing. I used to listen to gangsta rap too. I used to think it's pretty damn cool to be from the ghetto and be a thug. Then I started listening to some Kanye West, some Talib Kweli, some Mos Def, etc. Now my eyes are open to the fact that gangsta rap is one of the most retarded genres of music to ever exist.
