Good riddance.

Note: it's funny how people with tear drops tattooed on their faces often end up dead or in jail.
Its funny how close minded you are.....not everyone has the same opportunities. Many people grow up in shitholes that you will never experience. They have to do what they have to do to get ahead. Its far from an excuse and I'm not defending them as most of them do choose to continue their lifestyles even when afforded an opportunity to escape them.
He might have been scum, but your comments make you look like a buffoon.....and you're probably not any better then him. Its easy to judge people from behind a computer.......
Clearly you haven't meet most of ATOT:
1) everyone has advanced degrees
2) everyone makes over 100k a year
3) everyone has model kids. They are taught classical music at the age of 4. Anything rap related in shunned.
But seriously PimpJuice, although I agree with you 100%, it's falling on deaf ears.
I don't have an advanced degree, make over 100k per year or have model kids.
I also don't have gangster tattoos and I don't praise the rap/thug/gangster lifestyle. I don't sing about women as if they're just vaginas and I don't call my friends 'niggaz'. I don't carry a chip on my shoulder everywhere I go to show how hard I am.
I also don't live in the hood, because I've worked my entire life to have my nice little life.
Pimpjuice points out one really good thing: not everyone has the same opportunities. However, it's what you DO with your opportunities that defines who you are. When you choose to "get ahead" by being a thug - robbing, dealing, whatever - then you're perpetuating the shithole, condemning the next generation to grow up the same way.
Instead, have a little pride in yourself. Help clean up your neighborhood, stay in school and learn something. Avoid the gangs. It's not easy, but neither is giving in - and giving in has a far higher price.
As for shunning rap - I actually like the flavor of the music, but the culture that surrounds the uglier end of it, I can do without. Not all rap is created equal, and not all of it's offensive. What I've now seen of his is useless.
