What do y'all think?

Some kids don't understand the metaphors and the true meaning behind their stories and take shit literal, thus wanting emulate that life style and prove that they're just as "cool/hard". Also, do kids listen to Nas still? Aren't they listening to lil wayne and all that other garbage?
