Personally, I could EASILY see the ligitimacy in the government doing this. I say this because, I believe (and I don't know if others have also come to this conclusion) that there very well may be more than a few rappers (I'll leave names out) who have been and continue to be involved in "the game". It's sad, but true. As a matter of fact, there's a new movie coming out about a drug dealer who takes a lot of his "ill-gotten" money and tries to make more money (somewhat LEGALLY) by actually INVESTING in the stock market only to be swindled by some stockbroker. I feel in my heart that this story is more COMMON than NOT amongst a FEW rappers, especially the ones who have become real "big". Now I know that I COULD BE very wrong. But I doubt it seriously.

I feel that it's not fair...or moral, for that matter... for these rappers to "glamourize" things such as drugs, money, sex, cars, women, etc. when they KNOW what they did (or continue to do) in order to get started and/or make money.

I look back on how the originators of rap started things and how things are now...IT DON'T LOOK GOOD Y'ALL.

So, having said all of this, I don't see a real problem with JUSTIFIED government probes of SUSPECTED drug-dealing, gun-supplying rappers. If they don't have anything to hide, then there shouldn't be a problem.
