So, tell us, how did you conclude, outside of speculation, that fifty cents has lead to an increase in violent behavior or more drug abuse or any such thing? You will have to provide some evidence for this claim.

They are simpley common knowlege or fact.
#1 FACT: fify cent's has pissed off many people and goten shot many many times because of it.
#2 FACT: #1 says nothing for his intelagence or his ability as a role model.
#3 COMMON KNOWEDGE: People idolize fifty relating to item #1, case in point his movie get rich or die trying, and recent video game.
#4 FACT: small kids sometimes mimic the behavior of people they idolize. Hosital bills and police records can testify to this. You may rember the case of the small child who fell off the roof of his house and broke his leg trying to fly like superman.
#5 FACT: The small kids indicated (#4) will one day grow into contributing members of society for better or for worse.
