I'm 43 years old, so I was around for the start of the hip-hop movement. Even before "Rappers Delight" was put on wax, I saw that evey neagtive personality type [ felons/drug users and sellers/pimps/gang members, etc. ] was somehow drawn to the rap/street culture, while those who tried to live positive lives shyed away from it [ in the 70's, the other options were either punk or disco ]. Here it is 2008, and hip-hop and negative behavior are STILL connected. Just accept that the two are meant to be together and decide what you and your family should emulate. Don't call your kids gay just because they want to emulate positivity, and not everything that the streets say you should copy.
