RHH= Would you rather a rapper talk about his real hood life or be 100% fabricated.. does it matter?

I find the argument is pretty much cut and dried until you get to people talkin about events that couldn't possibly have happened. On one hand you have R.A. the Ruggedman. EVERY syllable from his mouth is the truth. Then you have DMX, who uses tales of hood violence, who knows if they're fabricated, in order to make the prayer and gospel track at the end that much more powerful. You have Lil Wayne rappin about being rich from the beginning, to sell a record. You have Jeru the Damaja and KRS-One using allegory to teach. You have Canibus using hyperbole to prove a point. And you have MF DOOM talking about stuff that could never happen, just to tell a story. If you ask me, the only rapper I named that's fake was Wayne.
