Very interesting! I would have to agree being the hip-hop head that I am

. This makes me want to look at lyrics now to back up what she's saying. Does she give examples of this? I'm all intrigued now, lol. I do think our culture deals with depression and anxiety by turning to alcohol and drugs moreso than going to a 'shrink' which has not been looked upon as a positive thing in our world. I think that is slowly changing, but we still have a long way to go, IMO, as far as dealing with our mental health as a people. I think this problem is reflected in the music.
