What about athletes and actors. Rappers are not the only type of male celebrity. When I was growing up the most popular male role models were Shaq, Kobe, and Denzel. Biggie and Tupac made good music but it was always very clear that music was for listening and the athletes and actors were the actual role models. Biggie and Tupac stayed close to the streets. Now present day, I don't see how that changed! LeBron, Kevin Durant, and Stephen Currey are the role models. Rappers like Offset are not looked at as role models.
