That's disrespectful and a stereotype. He died of cancer, in case you were wondering. He helped push rap towards intellectualism and pride, not arrogance and 'pimpness.' He was about knowledge and happiness.
Music has always been divided between intellectual progressives and shallow hooligans.
To compare whether Rock is 40-60% intellectual or Rap is 40-60% hooligan is arbitrary.
Guru (Gangstarr) was an intellectual rapper that tried to carry a brief intellectual monopoly in rap in the early 90s into the late 90s... so, I'll definately miss an individual who didn't let go of his morals completely to follow a current trend.
