P.O.S. and Individualism: A Contrast Case

Here are a number of songs from Minneapolis rapper P.O.S.  These songs express commitment to values which are similar to Faust's values such as individualism, passion and striving.  He also expresses commitment to some values that are not consonant with Faust's values.  I'm posting this here because I think he provides a nice contrast case to Faust.  Also, it's really freakin' good.

Which values are shared by Faust and P.O.S.?  Which are not shared? What are apparent social differences between P.O.S. and Faust?  Do they share values in spite of these differences, not share values because of these differences or, perhaps, some combination of these two alternatives? How might social differences or differences in values matter when we consider whether either figure could be considered a hero?
