I usually avoid threads like this because its the same nikkas who pop up and act self righteous using these situations to antagonize knowing damn well they don't truly give a fukk about the people involved in them :martin:

Now that you've started .. keep going .. you there yet?

I am not a hater of gangsta rap. I love some of it (as long as it's dope). I also recognize the effects.

I love booze. Can I argue that it's harmless? Can I say it hasn't affected ME in negative ways? I cannot.
:what:

The coli keeps telling me rap is "just entertainment like The Terminator"

I have yet to be convinced:mjcry:
I agree and disagree with that statement. For the most part rap is just entertainment. What's happening in Chicago has just as much to do with the gangs that have been there for 5-plus decades than it has to do with rap. Rap is just the vehicle to get their message to the enemies out there. The Opps would've got him whether he was a rapper, or whether he was doing bee-bop. BUT then again, the Drill Music isn't helping the situation. I guess I see both sides of the argument. Music can be influential, but anyone who's even a tiny bit familiar with Chicago's gang-history has to believe that this violence would be here anyway. It's like the Chicken or the Egg argument.

I was watching a Vlad interview with MC Eiht, and he said that in LA, they used to do Drive-by's to Marvin Gaye's "I heard it Through The Grapevine", or Parliament-Funkadelic tunes. I kid you not.

Chicago drill rappers die everyday in the hood b. It's part of the job. All I can say is at least it wasn't Money Man TYMB, my favorite drill rapper who hasn't gotten killed yet. RIP in advance I guess :manny:

That's impressive :ehh:
