hmmm
I have to agree with vitor here. I think i'm not in this crowd as it seems most of you guys grew up in very good or at least good neighborhoods. I didn't, I grew up in inner city Baltimore. I have friends that were killed before they reached age 16 for selling dope and some that are even in prison right now.
i grew up in an area where it's 98% black, i grew up listening to LL Cool J, Run DMC, NWA, 2 Live Crew(them cuz i was a young perv hahaha), guns and roses, def lepard... and a ton of other kinds of music. I still listen to a wide variety of music like vitor, and I love club music(nothing like seein a girl shaking them cheeks) hehe.
BUT how do i dress? how do I talk? I talk like i am somewhat(hehe) educated, I don't dress as i'm wearing my Older brothers, whose outweighing me my 300 lbs, hand me downs. I am myself.
what sickens me, is people being who they are not. I grow so f^&*ing tired of people acting inner city and they come from uppity areas. and when i say acting inner city, i mean, its what they think everyone from the inner city acts and talks.
i hate hearing some people talk, becuz they think speaking like a f**king idiot is cool. i hate people thinking selling dope is cool, i hate people thinkin that everyone in the inner city loves being there, becuz we don't. and we're trying to get out. watch a movie called "Black and White" or "malibu's most wanted" it's these fucking idiot kids who are being made a fool, and they think it's cool.
I worked in the tv field for 5 yrs, and I DON"T blame the media, or mtv, I blame the parents. I'm so tired of people putting the blame on tv and radio, blame the parents to these kids. yes we see shit on tv, but everyone has a choice to make in being themselves. If i grew up knowing it wasn't cool to speak like a moron, and dress with my pants so low my ass was showing, and i grew up listening to rap and watching alot of crazy shit, then why is it so hard for others not to be themselves and we blame everyone except the parents?
