i see alot of blame flying...blame the rapper writing the music and 'smacking asses', or blame the media moguls peddling the tunes for profit. you are all wrong. its the parents who should be blamed. i see more bling bling and thugery on a random thursday night when i watch a regular season NBA game. i see it in football with blingblingin ray lewis getting away with stabbing someone, some other sports athlete runs over a meter maid with his blinged out escalade. thugery and bling pervades the black culture in every aspect...not just music. and if parents dont want thier kids exposed to it...then the belts need to fly...the camping trips need to happen with a little more frequency.
once again, it is not somebody elses responsibility to raise another's children. not the music label, not the rapper, not the government, not sports owners....nobody but the kid's own damned parents. let the rappers, pro athletes, and other 'role models' have their ignorant bling lifestyle (because that's what i personally think of it) because that is what this country allows for them. raise your kids better, and none of this shit will matter.
