...if you knew more about the rappers who's opinion you prefer and the comments they've made you'd probably take back your statement. lol.



I know NAS's bit of history lashing out at opressors. But their more recent music has has been about encouraging the kids that look up to them rather than making excuses. Almost all of them, in some lyric or public statement said something derogatory. And it gets marked up as, he/she's had a rough life, Lauren Hill for example.

I hope Kanye gets over it and puts out a more positive message. Right now, he's not. I own/listened to his last two albums. His message was sad despite his skills.

Andy W. The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?
