I personally don't like that kind of music but everyone is entitled to listen to what they enjoy and at the end of the day, that guy will have the last laugh because as he 'spits' his wallet will grow. Some people will do anything for money and if he enjoys doing it and doesn't harm anyone, I have no problem with that. It's mostly the younger people that I have a problem with that are brought up in council estates thinking that this is the music to listen to and create because it makes them sound 'hard' which is completely wrong. But remember... Not everyone of these people that 'spit' are the same, some are decent, some have never committed a crime in their life and some just genuinely enjoy the music. To answer your question... Yes, as a person I do take him seriously but the lyrics in his rap I do not take seriously.
