Cheers. *edit* Rereading your post - I see you don't say he wasn't shot. I think he has lived through some of what he raps about though... [ 06-08-2003, 11:43 PM: Message edited by: Leonis ]

Yeah Leonis,
I didnt mean to imply that $.50 was a fake gangster. The dude did manage to get shot nine times. I did mean to imply he is a fool to glorify violence and reinforce the image that dope-slanging, gun toting ignorance is a legititmate way to live and get out of the Ghetto. His music ain't half-bad and he's got vocal skillz but the "he said-she said, east-vs-west" shit he's frontin is old stench. Ask 2-Pac and Biggie, or D.J. Scott La Rock, or any fallen rapper, or any fool with a gun getting killed by another fool with a gun. Of course I am Jaded....I have spent the last four years in the inner-city enviroment having little punks and gangsters arrested for stealing. There is a reason why the highest category for shoplifted CD's is Rap music... ...and it has nothing to due with skin color but the "F@#$ you! What ever what ever I'll do what I want" additude that comes from having egotistical materialistic rolemodels. I love Hip- Hop... I have since I was 11 years old and they playyed "You Talk Too Much" by the Fat Boys 3 times a day on the radio...It pisses me off that some of it has been Hijacked by the kind of people it has....

Chewie, I personally like some of the gangsta rap. And, it's been a big part of rap for a long time. Plus, it's a broad category that includes $.50, who I dislike (though I know Eminem finds him brilliant
![]() And, while the Fat Boys were fine to listen to, I was personally more of an NWA fan. Dopeman will be one of rap's best songs always. I guess what I'm saying is that while there are different ways to argue rap became and different things to argue it is "about," gangsta rap *is* part of the genre, a huge part, and has been for 20 years. |

![]() I love Ice-T and Cypress Hill for example. And although I am hard-pressed to believe that all the members of NWA were gangsta before NWA, I like their work for what it is and in relation to the time it came out. Also, Ice-Cube and alot of Dr. Dre's solo and production work is tight. I really loved Easy-E when I was like 13 or 14, but looking back, he's just: a homophobe who rhymes of crimes, slingin dimes, but never put in the time. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I am old school.
I miss Kool Moe Dee. I enjoy Will Smith, what can I say? Tried to listen to Eminem, but I can't hang with those sentiments.
