don't be such a fassy.
if i ever say anything worth retaining in memory, it shouldn't matter if you're too soft to deal with what you deal to be abrasive, if it makes sense.
especially when just about everything i say is in jest. lighten up bruh

"You will see the influence they have. That is where my point comes to play."
You sound like some knee-jerk conservative trying to ban rock-n-roll in the 50's. Here's an idea. Next time you see one of these kids, why don't you go and talk to them? Why do they listen to what they do? What do they gain by listening to that stuff?
Ok, maybe you shouldn't just go approach people at a mall. But talk to them. Go be a youth mentor or something and get to know them. These kids are not impressionable and mindless. they have a specific desire from this stuff. 50 is providing it, and they're eating it up. But what they're after is not self-destruction, believe it or not.
You're sitting on park benches, looking at people, and assume stuff. that don't work, homie. that's ignorant.

everyone should bump dc talk, will smith, and blackalicious or you ain't hip hop.
cuz they are out to save the children.

haha!
I apologize for replying to this thread long after its time, but I just had to.
For anyone who thinks ppl are being influenced into violent acts after listening to 50, get the fuck outta here. Very few people have the heart and balls to pull off half the shit 50 is talking about. Its entertainment....enjoy it, bump it, fuck to it, do whatever you want.
And if they are doing violent shit after listenin to 50....they were gonna do it either way. No rap album in the world caused a generation of kids to grow up feeling like shit....the rap albums just told their stories.
haha! too funny.
if anythings gonna cause violence its that whiny, bullshit emo crap....shoot me now, so ill be worth more dead than alive.
the fuck is a wanksta? was he unable to pronounce his "g"s after catching two in the mouth?
haha....

funniest thread ever. where is k77 and fatoe when you need em?
i have so much to comment on these comments on hip hop culture, but i cant stop laughing...
i've been in it for a minute, urban is the new revolution.
funny that how i'm livin is suddenly mainstream culture... funny how 50 gettin shot and almost dyin is seen as cool.
he's not tryin to be cool for none of ya'll. he's tryin to live. he's the real deal and got out of the streets with his brains and his music. whether anyone you know listens or not. pac and biggie.... commentary on life on the other side of the tracks. a side the masses had never seen.
for along time urban music didnt appeal to the masses, only to peeps that looked like me. now in the new millenium, every kid knows the urban stars at the top of their game.
every kid rocks jersey's, listens to urban everything, reads the source, and starts threads like these....
juss so ya'll know, urban culture is here. poor peeps of all races rising out of their ghetto's and doing something positive has been happening ever since... marley was the first... 50 is the latest.
marley to 50. poor people rise up. juss know that none of these ghetto superstars wanna get dead. when ya got nothin, you gotta do something to live.

not that this has to do with anything any of you are saying, but some dude flipped the in the club acapella on top of dkay's quiet earth and it sounds fucking fresh.

Yes coco... you got me their.. I am a backpacker...
and yes.. once again, you got me, I am stuck in 94 and from cali...
Yes I think I am more righteous then 50's fans... moron.
And sorry for the misspelling. Please forgive me.
Regardless of all that, your ignorance has kept you blind from the point I made.
Like I said, bump 50 all you want. It isn't going to make my life any better or worse. I choose to surround my self with good music. Why? Because I am righteous... Because I would rather listen to good positive music then lame ass shit like what 50 spits.
The things he says, do not relate to me. Nor do I want them around me. Does that mean I am self righteous? Nope. Just means I would rather listen to other shit.
If they relate to you. Then play it all you want. If it doesn't, then keep playing it as well. My comments were not directed towards anyone, you just made them official. They were general. Playing devils advocate doesn't change the fact that 50 sucks ass, so does his camp and so does almost everything on the radio or tv.
it's a choice people make on their own. Regardless, that lifestyle is ignorant.
I suggest we keep breaking the rules. After all, how fun is it to bump something positive?
YIATCHES

yeah, because everyone who knows frankie can agree that he's insecure with himself, or his ethnicity, and feels the need to prove it to you and himself...

- TNDAP0
Like what are you his personal cheerleader, I love how just cause you know he's black and maybe you visited his site, or was in a thread with him or maybe even emailed him that he's your best friend and you're lobbying for him now Gabe you don't even know dude, probably neva hung out either, just cause his loud, boisterous, and african american doesnt me you automatically jump on his nuts, obviously you didnt read the thread he used the word nigga and I voiced my opinion on how distastful I thought it was that's all he started with the name calling...my beef isn't with you..yet. So respectfully mind your business, Gabe.
- cocoboy1der0
