for a "unreal rapper" that was one of the realist inreviews ive seen.He stated that he KNOWS will one day come to an end just like everyone else,puts money in his kids education....and if worse comes to worse he has a degree and can make 100k as a r.n in the most sought after field right now. thats besides the fact that he's dropping his 5th album in 3 years
By this logic I assume you have no problems with con-artists or for that matter
anybody who has a degree and puts money in thier kids education.
Talk is cheap and he is doing way more damage then any good he could ever bring to the table.
heh.....you take the good with the bad , if plies can make a kid go bang on someone's grandma.....i blame the parenting....music wise? who's to say his music is bad?...if its accepted and people are going to the stores and buying the records than thats whats up. if you not buying the record and dont listen to dude , thas cool too.me peronally? i listen to some plies , not a whole lot tho
Music and the media has a huge amount of influence amoung the youth/onlookers.
Parents cannot be there 24/7.
Im tired of this "parenting" excuse making it hard on the parents that really do try today.
This guy in no different than a fraud insurance salesman who
cons masses of their money only to send his child to school and take care of "his" family.
This MF'ers kid getting a full ride to college while yours in jail because he choose
to rid wit da "choppa" with some "goons".
N's need to stop letting this coporate MF'ers sit at the table and feed yall that "its you excuse".
Yeah self-control is in the formula but I'd be damn If I deny these people of their doing also.
Dangling of the carrot.
You wanna set a example? Go make a career out of your degree, send your kid to school,
then tell the same homies who with you now to do what you did.
Plies know better. Rick know better..these police academy, UCF attending mf'ers know what they imposing.
Thats why I don't feel sorry when they come around this way and get that !@# jacked up.
#%%!...Conning people out of insurance and making rap music are two totally different so everything you're saying is completely irrelevant, parents really do need to step up to the plate and take responsibility.
If they (rappers) have the power to manipulate these weak minded a** individuals, then so be it, I don't see how you are trying to advocate ignorant people who listen to ignorant music.
You can apply what my man's Shyne Po said to this topic...
Hip hop ain't responsible for violence in America, Americas responsible for violence in America....
Exactly my man its so funny how every1 is blaming rappers etc for the misogony,violent, and ignorance of todays youth. Half of yall and people who state this are kids themselves let alone parents so how would you know. I have kids most of you guys ages so i think i no a thing or 3 about kids. Plies Jeezy etc aint making kids go sell dope.
When i grew up thats when dope dealing was at its peak, and we had stars famous celebs who did dirt, and where on some real g #+#, not no punk a#$ drive-bys, ski-mask and gloves and sneakin up on ppl, robbin them. This generation to be honest is some punk-a@#, Back in my day ppl snatched chains its just they didnt wait in dark alleys to do it or sneak up on ppl from the back, it was done broad daylight no mask in front of yo face. This 20 something and below generation is some soft panza-a@# es.
As far as parents to busy is bulls$%t, we had less opportunities as far as work,education. You act like these parents are being hosed,chased by dogs,have pipe bombs thrown in there homes,crosses burnt in their yard. We had to work 2 and 3 jobs, yet we didnt act like fools. What has happen is kids are raising kids, thus cant teach them how to be an adult.
Add to the fact parents of this genertion to busy trying to give kids everything they didnt have growing up ie materialistic things, that they 4get to give them the things they did have growing up ie.. discipline, pride in ur culture(women with weaves str8 white women hair, ni%^as shaving facial hair dressin up in monkey suit and tie, trying to impress the man aka look less threatin less ethnic)standing up for urself and community(letting those certain ppl 4rm far east drive out blacks in their communities, opening up the nail salons the cornerstores,wig shops) then take the money and use it to build up an already strong white community.
Its these type of actions/events that make these youngsters act/do what they do. kids nowadays dont wannabe like malcom,like garvey.. they aint tryin 2 stand up for justices n right wrongs, they dont understand adversity and hardship. they have everything easy,handed to them. this generation isnt fightin for ppl getting that top position in a fortune 500 company. instead they will just cut the dreads off shave the beard/goatee tap dance a lil, throw a few yes masters,and take the 100k a yr job. move away out of the community to a side of town,where the ppl dont even want u there. buy a car from a company who dont even respect u. just to feel like u arrived/made it. then they have kids, dont teach them about the hardships, and just spoil them, give them everything they want.
None of this has nuttin 2 do with rappers images,video games etc. Its got to do with instead of trying to have equal rights etc fightin 4 what is right, this generation is more impress with iphones,bmw's,and flashy fad clothing. True rappers all endorse the things, but to say they the blame for the obsessiveness for keeping up with the joneses isnt true. Its the parents who are going out there way 2 apease there kids by making sure they kids live that lifestyle. As a way of saying i dont want u to go thru what i had 2 go thru.
LDJ I agree with the majority of what you said. A lot of parents don't really take the time to train their kids and instill values like previousgenerations and it is really their responsibiltiy to make sure that their kids have their head on straight. I do think it's a bit naive though, whenpeople totally discount the influence of music, movies, video games etc. If you think about all the images and messages thrown at kids 24/7, parents have towork twice as hard to combat that than in the past.
