There's opportunity for everyone in this country. Unfortunately, a lot more for some than others. D12 rose out of the rubble of Detroit to become superstars in the rap world, but that doesn't necessarily make him an upperclass, socially accepted role model. He was still the person he was as he grew up in that shitty ass neighborhood. I've never lived in Detroit, so maybe I should bite my lip... but I did grow up lower middle class/poor in downtown Las Vegas. All I can say is I'm lucky for having a mother who loved me and looked out for me until we moved to the suburbs in 1986. Just that change alone has helped me live what I believe is a better life than what I would have had, being involved in that bullshit downtown.
