here in L.A. gang violence/murder is actually down compared to the 80's/90's,i think the year with the highest amount of murders was 92'...rappers might have an influence on small town/suberban folks who think its the thing to do,but i dont think they have any effect on large cities that have always had high amounts of violence.
Very true

"In 2003, 68% of prison and jail inmates were members of racial or ethnic minorities, the government said. An estimated 12% of all black men in their 20s were in jails or prisons, as were 3.7% of Hispanic men and 1.6% of white men in that age group, according to the report."
More Black criminals in Jail = Less Black on Black crime.....I guess (no racist).

Meaning did it lower black on black violence? No, I don't believe so. During the late 80's and early 90's the form of hip hop you make reference to had to compete with "gangsta rap" and its many variants.
Did they pay attention meaning did they recieve it as a good idea? Possibly. But what you should really be asking is if they actually APPLIED what they learned or changed living conditions (mentality) or habits.
Actually, I don't believe the gangsta/thug image is all that popular now. IMHO the popular sound is faggoty party music. This is the music where niggas act like faggots, dance like bitches, swivel their necks like whores, promote drug use and erratic driving. BUT, I believe things are more quicker to escalate into more severe forms of violence than compared to back in the day. In the late 80's and early 90's you still had people willing to let the hands go. Now days hand battles are scarce.

True, the ones who run the country anyway. but i havent heard of someone breaking in to cars or slangin shit just to do em (im sure it happens but i havent witnessed it)), it all depends on which is the lesser of the two evils, the politician who has the money too take more money, or the broke person who has the gun and a sac to make money...

"Nigga, think if you woke up and all of a sudden nigga you was off in my hood/ I'm a real thuggish nigga/ So uhh... I would have to kill ya (so dumb)" <- I think that's what he says at the end of that line I'm not sure tho.

^What black on black violence message in the good 'ol days?
I guess it all depends on how you look at it.
All intensity is good it just has to be put towards a positive goal.
The willingness to defend and kill for something is there. The intimidation is there, which will usually 9 times out of 10 stop physical violence. Loyalty is there also.
Some see a black on black violence message. I see a warrior who needs a righteous cause.
