Sure some artists portray images, has that not actually happened to him?
Has he not actually done that shit, is he not influencing most of todays youth with the things he talks about?

Plenty of people have been shot. Ronald Reagan was shot. Is Ronald Reagan a thug?
Yes, it happened to him, but most artists pull in from their personal experiences for inspiration. He raps about selling drugs, but he isn't doing that anymore. Because he isn't doing that anymore, he's not a criminal. He's not a thug.
He is influencing most of today's youth, so that kids will think that it's fun to pretend to be a thug. That definitely doesn't mean that they are thugs.
