Of course most of what is said is made up. Rappers are like movie stars, just playing a character on wax. I'm sure some of them do carry guns, but just for defensive purposes. 50 Cent said he has never in his life smoked weed, yet he has an entire song dedicated to smoking. Its all marketing. If you believe they are murdering people and dealing drugs, you are naive to the business part of the industry. Anyway, my favorites are Eminem, Jay-Z, Nas, Biggie, Jadakiss, Tupac, Big L, Method Man, Redman, Game, Kanye, Styles, Lloyd Banks, D12, and 50's alright I guess.
