Rappers and Being "Gangsta"

I really am not sure if I can say much else that hasn't already been said. Like Rabbia and Leonard have said before me, even if the rappers and hip hop artists do good things, their image in what they are famous for (music) is much more negative.

However, I think that it isn't required that rappers and hip hop artists have this image. An example of this are so-called "Nerdcore" rappers like mc chris, whose most famous song "Fett's Vette" is shown below.
