Hip-hop has always been more than the gangsta rap subgenre, Guyute...hip-hop had already been around for almost 20 years when BDP came out with "Criminal Minded." Unfortunately, gangsta rap has been the dominant subgenre of hip-hop for some time...nowhere near what it was in the mid-90s, but still dominant.
Bill Cosby, while making some good points over the past year, needs to get his own house in order before pointing his finger at others any further, IMO.
Ep, if attitude weren't sold, we would have never had punk music...or rock n' roll for that matter. I don't know about you, but I'm glad we have both. I'm not saying it's good to sell it all the time, but sometimes, it's a damned good thing. And it seems like you're painting the entire genre with the same brush (as are other folks in this thread). Would you expect all of the rock genre to unite in cooperation? And would you really want all those artists to do so?
