my blackness can beat up your blackness.
hmm. let's try to look at the big picture.
unless your sense of self and discipline is very high you will eventually come to imitate the music you listen to. a lot of people will say 'uh sure', but I truly believe music is a key to everyone's ultimate persona.
for what i read, he didn't put down hip hop. he didn't put down rap. he put down the thug wannabe dipshits that have disregarded all honor, respect, and tolerance.
anger music can be good for you. god knows i've got some fucked up shit on my own. i'm a metalhead. but I listen to music after I think (wow) about how I will feel. if it will be negative i force myself to not play it if I am in a bad mood already. kind of like saying "i'm too depressed to drink alcohol". its not that hard to decide.
and as for a person being black or white enough? fuck that bullshit. if that's the way you see society you need to shape up a bit. we're all different individuals. deal with it.
if i had a young teen with the Chronic i would be uncomfortable, but let it go. I know my relationship with my kid would be high and i would talk to him about this kind of nonesense since day one. respect each other, especially women, some words are not tolerated period until you understand them, drugs aren't the worse thing in the world but don't just try shit.... so on.
i see some kids and i think. if they would give up this bullshit fake lifestyle they may be happy instead of looking like a thug. yes. a thug. i said it. most teens these days look thuggish to me. they listen to this shit, this none stop dissing hos and bitches, my dick is bigger than yours, fuck the police (although i mostly agree with the statement), guns are needed... yadayada music is poison. perio. just like a lot of music and all things.
there's good, neutral and bad. this shit is bad.
its just sad that everyone is so ready to say 'you will not hear this again' which does not work. explain, communicate.... things may get better.
but the longer we tolerate thug culture the longer we will have to eventually embrrace it.
thank god most goths are too pussyfied to fight normal folk. (fake goths)
