Is it bad (or wrong?) that I only associate beats with thugs and hoodlums?

edit: the photo gizmodo used:
Yes, it is wrong. Do you have a definition of thugs and hoodlum that fits the actual dictionary text, or do you simply mean a specific type of young man?

hood·lum
noun
a person who engages in crime and violence; a hooligan or gangster.

^^True of many pro athletes & musicians.

thug
noun
1. a violent person, especially a criminal.

^^Also of many pro athletes & musicians.

Ever listen to the lyrics of a song by Dre?

But I think we're mainly talking about fashion.
