be FUCKing serious...there's always gonna be some dumb ass kids that say music influenced them to do this and tht...music is one of the most influential things to the human psyche, that's why doctors say it's good for babies to listen to classical music, it expands their mind...don't you think that other music would do the opposite as well?...

in the rap industry there is NO such thing as credibility...1st off, most artists don't even write their own lyrics, 2nd off, a rap artist is not who they are, it's a PERSONA being sold to the public, people don't actually DO most of the things in their raps...which loses their "credibility" right off the top

Nirvana WAS a great band, but not because of the reasons that idiot you quoted said, if you knew anything about the direction of rock music when they came out, you'd understand why they are considered among the rock greats

people idiolize drug dealers because they see them with all the flashy shit and nyce things, wearin' iced out chains and ridin' through the 'hood in a nyce car andshit, the only reason they don't their shit taken is because they know what will happen to 'em if they do...rappers do the SAME thing in their videos, except 80% of the shit in their video is rented, but the average teenager doesn't know that...when's the last time you seen a rock artist in their video showing off their cars an shit?...Travis Barker got a sikk ass house with madd cars, the only time you ever see him showing that shit off is on CRIBS, where the show is actually ABOUT that...rappers glorify and personify things that are all "illusion" and based on the "persona" they're trying to sell, they don't car about fans, it's all about the almighty dollar...if someone you know is idiolizing a drug dealer, I feel sorry for them and whoever else is around 'em when they're growing up cuz that shit's an illusion too

1st off, whoever said "white people CHOOSE to be poor" is completely clueless to the affairs of the united States of America...there are many white people that grow up with less than black people and have to work hard to get out of their situation, if anything black people don't realize that we keep ourselves down by BLAMING everything on the white man...and we're stuck on this "hood rich" shit about having nice "things" so we can be flashy, but still living in the 'hood...if you live in the same broke down ass type of house as ya next door neighbor, just cuz you got a 200$ pair of jeans and 350$ sneakers, doesn't make you any better than them, you still in the SAME predicament as them...anyone can be poor, poverty is blind...there is no color to poverty...that's like a white person saying only white people can have money
and we should all know that's NOT true...

(X)eed, I was saying that rappers DO go back to the 'hood...I think you red my comments a little bit wrong dude lol...read what I said again
