Isn't that what many songs do? A lot of popular songs play off your emotions because it is something that you can relate yourself to. It might be more of a spur of the moment thing but it isn't that much different than writing a song about falling in love or breaking up.

That line reminds me of the old Chevy ad with "See the USA in your Chevrolet" as a slogan. And yes, I'm old enough to remember it from B&W TV ads. There was even a song that went with the ad.

showing pride for your country and making a song about it is a bad thing? Give me a freaking break.

many of them are just patriotic, toby keith in particular has a few songs just about America. my favorite (below)
many of them also go overseas to entertain the troops (also in the video)

And if you would give some artists a chance you would learn that the more successful rap artists are poets and are not just rapping about their 30's on their hummer. Some talk about more important things especially motivating artists who help the younger population and push forward for the next generation to do something with themselves. I see no difference between Rock and Rap. IMHO

and yeah i remember that video of T.I. having the Impala SS and Camaro Concept in the video.. he even had a couple commericals with Dale Jr.

yes you cant forget all the great rap songs about selling drugs and beating up hoes. good poetry right there.
