Why do you continue to rap about drugs, violence, sex, and stuff that people frown upon?

its just more like white people dont complain about it, if whites want change we do it we dont expect and wait for other people to accept what we do. it just seems like blacks always have their hand out waiting for someone to hand something over to them and when they rap about their ghetto thats an outlet cause these white kids hear it and r gona grow up to be non prejudice. but u can call me racist for sayin that but deep down even a black guy will tell u that they do have their hand out.

Well it kind of offended me because he was only talking about his race, he didn't seem to care about the rest of the world.

aiight this right here should've been commented on, I don't understand how you can say that every black person has their hand out ready to get something for nothing, as a white person you can't make that judgement simply because you're not black...I agree with you that SOME of my black people do, but you can't generaliZe like that man...

to me being "ghetto" is being loud and obnoxious, acting like a complete IGnorant fool and being small-minded as ever...but what ya'll are portraying that "ghetto" is what I would consider being "hood"...that's being from the actual 'hood or bad neighborhood where most people are on welfare and experiencing the lows of our society as a whole, living in public housing that's reserved mostly for blacks, growing up on welfare all your life and generations before you as well...

being "ghetto" is a mentality, yes...and to me it's something that mostly black people have, but another part of being "ghetto" is blaming all your problems on stuff that you can change if you wanted to, but find it easier not to...take responsibility for things that are the way they are if you can change them and don't then it's your fault things are still the same for you...if you look at it like this then ANYbody can be ghetto if they blame shit on growing up without this, that and the other, when they feel like the government made something this way or that way...when they blame the fact that they sell drugs on something besides themselves...to me, if you're gonna sell drugs and live in the 'hood and are cryin' and bitchin' about getting out then do your dirt, stack your chips and gt the FUCK out instead of buying brand name clothes that look just as good as other clothes that DON'T have the RocaWear symbol on it, the Jordans on ya feet, fresh Ones...stop spending money on the stuff that doesn't matter and DO something instead of talking about who did what TO you and your "people" and that's anybody, black, white, Asian, Hispanic, whatever...

My OPINION is:
Ta be ghetto,u hadda live in da ghetto for a long time? Lol i know ghetto people dat neva lived in da ghetto in dey life...but u'd look at em like "damn dis manz ghetto as fuck".To that statement,it aint bout were u live,its just bout how u get thingz done.In sum places bein ghetto is the utha word for survival...

These are my two discriptions on da word GHETTO:

Maken a sugar sandwich=Ghetto,but dats all u have ta eat...Survival!
Doin what u gotta do ta stay warm,keep clothes on ya back,shoes on ya feet
a place ta sleep. When ya money low ya gonna do whateva ta do those things even if it means sleepin on da floor wit ya coat fluffed unda ya head.

Ghetto can also be used as the area u stay in. These two are what i used da word GHETTO for....anything else is just bullshit and people dat dont know what da fuck dey tawkin bout.
