50 Cent isn't bragging about how tough he is, he's telling a story. He isn't glorifying violence, although there is violence in the story. It's worth taking into account what he has to say. It might be easy to dismiss this as "gangsta rap," but that would be erroneous.
This song at any rate does not glorify gang culture although it shows images thereof. Gang violence touches the lives of many people. Gangs are the result of poverty and lack of opportunity. Too little has been done to change this reality.
