Yeah OP is wild late, but still - I can't honor little homie...

...anybody that grew up in the hood is well aware of our urban American versions of child soldiers, so yeah you can always lean on the "hey man, it's reality" defense...

...but that don't mean the **** should be promoted/encouraged.

Like, how can anyone look at homie and not see how all sorts of wrong this is?

Here's to hoping the young brother makes it to 21...

...our hoods really need help.

And I'm so disappointed Wayne has this cut on D4 - he just gave it an international platform...

...wild part is, when Weezy was little dude's age, he wasn't even allowed to cuss on them CMR records.

I hear you but I just don't understand this line of thinking.

An overall poisonous message is going to resonate the same way whether it's coming from a 13 year old or a 38 year old.

It's bizarre to me that he could be rapping about the same **** but it would be ok to most people if he were just 4 years or so older.

What's more pathetic? This 13 year old rapping about an environment he actually lives in or all the pushing 40 rappers talking about the same **** when they are far removed from it?


This "it's entertainment" thing is a thin line I see.

People conditionally pull out the white flag on rap when it becomes controversial.

Rick Ross being a lie = it's entertainment

Lil Mouse = it's going too far.

I don't understand.

How don't you understand? Unlike Ross, Mouse is a 13 year old who's mother and uncles are behind the scenes pushing him to do this. Ross is an adult who is conscious of the decisions he's making. I'm sure Mouse has been through some stuff and yes there are kids like him running around the hoods across America and I'm not mad at him. I'm

at the adults in his life for thinking this is cool and chasing that quick buck through him. Like Chief Keef, you just have to wait and see what record label is going to reward this garbage.
[h1]Where’s the public outcry over Chicago boy’s raunchy rap video?[/h1]

13-year-old rapper Lil' Mouse from the video "Get Smoked"

WARNING: Video contains obscene language and gestures

When a 13-year-old boy shows up in a rap video cursing like a grown man, flashing money and posing with a gun, his parents and other adults involved are morally bankrupt.

Unfortunately, there has been no public outcry over a raunchy video titled “Lil Mouse Get Smoked” that debuted on YouTube on July 4, and has since Blo wn up the Internet. Nearly 300,000 people have viewed it, making the 13-year-old the latest rap sensation to come out of Chicago.

Known as “Lil Mouse,” the baby-faced rapper repeatedly drops “F” and “N” bombs in a music video that glorifies sex, drugs and violence. At one point, an adult male gets behind the teen and makes it look like the teen is holding the gun. On popular music video sites, the teen, who allegedly lives in Roseland, is being promoted as the “13-year-old rapper from the Wild, Wild Hundreds.”

The gangster-style music video is even more profane when you consider that Chicago is desperately trying to reduce gang- and drug-related violence that helped push the homicide rate up nearly 40 percent and claimed the lives of so many of the city’s children.

Here’s just a sample of what “Lil Mouse” has to say:

“I’m rollin’, all my n----s rollin’

.30 clip and them hollow tips have his a-- sitting in Roseland

Floating off a pill, p**** bad’ll kill

My n---- in the field; you might get killed….

Melly got the .30 on his hip, he gone need some help

I’m a gangster, n----, and I could do this s--- my f------ self”

When this kind of filth comes out of a child’s mouth, there’s no one to blame but the parents. Obviously, in neighborhoods where people are struggling to get by, having a kid break into the music industry is huge.

Still, there is such a thing as going too far and “Get Smoked” is a good example of where too far takes us. When young black males were exploited by the music industry to promote the gangster lifestyle, most of us said nothing.

Now the industry is hooking teenagers.

“This warrants an investigation,” said Che “Rhymefest” Smith, a Chicago rapper who ran a spirited but unsuccessful campaign for alderman in the 20th Ward.

“This has clearly crossed over into child pornography when you have a 13-year-old child rapping about sex and about violence and drug selling. They are probably already under investigation,” he said.

P. Noble, the videographer who shot the video in Roseland, claims “Lil Mouse” wasn’t holding the gun.

“I made sure of it. When I got to the set, I made sure that Mouse did not have any guns or drugs on him,” he told me.

Noble claimed not to know the names of any of the adults involved in making the video but said the boy’s mother and adult uncles were on the set.

“I was hired to do video direction. Somebody called me and I showed up. I didn’t realize a gun was in the video. So much was going on and there were a lot of people behind him. I wasn’t trying to glorify anything,” he said.

The gun is clearly visible in several scenes.

“But a lot of young people in Chicago live and survive in that subculture. It is a sad reality. It’s an epidemic,” Noble concluded.

Chase Davis is listed as the producer of “Get Smoked.” Davis did not return several phone calls.

Rhymefest claims Lil Mouse represents a new “culture of rap music from Chicago that is glorifying violence and drugs.”

“We find that artists who glorify death in Chicago are being rewarded,” he said.

For instance, Chief Keef, another Chicago teen who raps about violence, recently landed a deal with the Interscope record label that is reportedly worth millions.

But last December, the then 16-year-old wasn’t much of a celebrity. In fact, he was a big part of the problem that continues to make life unbearable in some neighborhoods on the South and West Sides.

Keef was arrested in the Washington Park neighborhood when police arrived on the scene and found a suspect pointing a gun at them. Chief Keef was one of two young men arrested. The rapper was charged with unlawful use of a weapon and had to do 60 days of house arrest — at his grandmother’s house, no less — according to a report in the Beachwood Reporter.

“Record labels are exploiting the violence in Chicago at the expense of young people who are being used to do it,” argues Rhymefest, who has publicly taken Chief Keef to task, calling him a spokesman for the “prison industrial complex.”

“This is new for rappers in Chicago,” he said.

“We have to go after the producers and labels and create some way young people can express themselves and be heard,” he said.

“But if guns and b------ is the only thing that is getting attention, then that is what young people are going to do. I am trying to save those artists before they cross over to the dark side.”

To that end, Rhymefest is spearheading “The Pledge Mixtape,” a CD that brings together rappers in Chicago to produce positive music about life as opposed to death.

“We want to highlight positive artists that tell the truth. The majority of young people are not selling drugs. They are not killing each other, and they have aspirations,” Rhymefest said.

“Everybody has a rap and a dream. “Clearly, you don’t need a lot of talent, just a hustle,” he said. “There is some adult barricading these teens, and you have to get around these adults.”

Because of “Get Smoked,” Lil Mouse is not on the corner or hanging on the street, said Noble, who claims his phone has been ringing off the hook with inquiries about the young rapper.

Still, what’s taking place in “Get Smoked” is child exploitation and depicts behavior that is detrimental to the moral development of a child. That can’t be ignored.

How don't you understand? Unlike Ross, Mouse is a 13 year old who's mother and uncles are behind the scenes pushing him to do this. Ross is an adult who is conscious of the decisions he's making. I'm sure Mouse has been through some stuff and yes there are kids like him running around the hoods across America and I'm not mad at him. I'm :smh: at the adults in his life for thinking this is cool and chasing that quick buck through him. Like Chief Keef, you just have to wait and see what record label is going to reward this garbage.

he and I had the same argument in the Lil' Herb thread--- let him rock. Though because you are a male I doubt he'll say your argument is irrational

The whole situation is a catch 22.

While Mouse and Keef are young and they SHOULDNT be rapping about this stuff, violence and drugs is what they see every day.

Like in Keef's situation he's making $$$$ now and improving his family's situation off ignorant *** raps. So on one hand, yeah his music is violent and (possibly) a bad influence, but at the same time he's on a much better life path than he was BECAUSE of the music he made.

Like I said, catch 22.
 
somayall boys gonna **** around and get smoked talkin that way bout lil mouse. he got hittas.

And thats how we keep losing. While one little black boy and his family gets rewarded the thousands or millions that listen and emulate them will never see that type of money or success. All they get is a sad reality which leads to prison, death, crime, and poverty. So thats why something should be done.
 
This song goes but listening to these lyrics I can do nothing but shake my head. He is 13!!!!! THIRTEEN!!!!!!


This is going way too far. I can't rock with Chief Keef either anymore (although 'I Don't Like' is one of my favorite songs of the year) the stuff they're rapping about is just :smh:
