Why cant people just be themselves? Unfortunately, I ventured into the Members Pictures forums, only to be bombarded by images of both genders trying to be something that they are not. Why? Why do these Caucasian kids want to be another race? Why cant they love themselves for who they are? Why cant these females post their actual pictures as opposed to pictures of someone else to comply with societys anorexic view of beauty? You are what you are, and you should love and accept that regardless of your enviroment and opinions of the close-minded.


I live in Denver, my father is a white/black mix and my mother is a hispanic/white mix. As a result of which, I am left with curly hair, a small penis, and white skin.


The majority of Denvers' population is Mexican. Im not gonna change my name to Paco and and drive a low rider Cadillac. No. Why? Because that is not who I am. I am a white male, I accept that. I dont care if Mexicans or Blacks look 'cooler' or are more loved.


Just be yourselves, and do not give in to popular demand.



As for the females who opted to post pictures of others, I only have one question : why? Are you afraid of the criticism? Are you cursed with that low of a self-esteem level? I know that it is extremely cliche to hear this, but beauty truely is on the inside. I, after having matured into the person I am today, would much rather be blessed with a woman with average looks who treats me with respect and love, than the modern day bitch who lives off of her exterior appearance. Love yourselves and someone else will grow to love you.


And lastly, you guys that like certain things just because someone else does. Blah. I listen to mostly underground rap, and a select few rock bands. Why? Not because people say that Mainstream rap is too commercial, not because rock is the 'new big thing', but because this is what I like. Dont get me wrong, I am always open to new ideas and new genres, but just because Bob from down the street says that Joe Rapper sucks and that MC Gimmick is better doesnt mean that im going to throw out all my old cds and adapt my lifestyle to another opinion.


Do what You want to.. Not what everyone else wants you to do.


This, upon other reasons, is why I have come to have respect for a few people on this site.


C-Section - Overweight...doesnt give a fuck. Perfect. You think hes fat? Fuck you. Hell be over in the corner eating whatever the he wants to. Take your opinions to someone else you can brainwash to into wanting to be you.


Bruklor - Always stating his opinions, regardless of the thoughts of others. Open about his playing of the guitar, doesnt care if you dont like him because of his hobbies.


Maven - See Bruklor.


And lastly, every ugly, overweight, blind, armless, crippled person who has posted real pictures of themselves, throwing caution to the wind, just so you can put a face behind the words.


I applaud you all.

This is prbably one of the most intelligent threads on the site but I have to disagree on one thing, only black people are "gangstar". I honestly listen to nearly every genre of music there is. (Includes Country on Occasions) Basicaly what I'm trying to say is that hip-hop isn't a black thing, lowriders aren't a mexican thing, It's just how and where you grew up, say you're white and grew up in the projects, chances are you'll listen to hip-hop and where baggy clothes because It's what you could get. Growing up in a rich community chances are you're gonna listen to pop and dress in Suits and whatever other clothing was exceptable. Race is not what I have problems with. It's people who go against there upbringing so they can seem cool

Noooooooooooo! Dezyir has some black / spick in him, hence - he's now ruined the fact we used to make fun of them them all cause we were both white. = )

Nevermind Dez, let's go make another Eminem thread and rejoice!

totally agree Dez. y r ppl trna be something there not, is not as though being that bit harder or street is gonna make u better at rap.

they shud be themselfs, look at most rappers they express wat they are and dnt give a fuck wot ppl think.

nelly is a example of fake rappers, he had two baseball contracts then went to rap where he says he grew up in the struggle and had to hustle.
