Influence

[SLY]

I was thinking about this last night when i was at the bowling aisle and i saw 2 fightz.... a shooting outside and a stabbing.

I remember when i was a youngsta everyone wanted too be Michael Jordan.... I meen everyone was coppin them Jordans, had a 23 jerz.. and was a BULLS FAN and everyone was basically a Ball Hogg.... etc etc


Now... I see a bunch of little fucks trying too be gangstaz.... I meen i see it everywhere!!!!.... having a rap album out. ( refer too kobe soz) i meen its crazy what can persuade people too do.... '

Everybody is influenced by everyone else... It's just the way human beings are. The crowd you run with will absolutely dictate your thoughts, feelings, emotions, attitude, everything... It's all connected. Birds of a feather flock together. This is the reason our mothers told us to stay away from people who had no character cause she knew we would be influenced by them. Most of those little fucks are imitating something they've seen on television or heard in a song. When artists act like their music doesn't influence people that's nothing more than a cop out so they don't have to deal with the guilt involved in making music. However, people choose different kinds of music based on there moods. The ultimate responsibility is in the hands of the listener, not the artist. The second law of thermodynamics states that everything moves from order to disorder. My comprehension of that means we're all becoming worse people as time goes by, amongst other things. There's also a dent in the family unit and morals have been thrown out the door completely. A broken home leads many towards death.

i agree w what mo-x...i hate the fact how ppl are quick to blame rap for their kids acting like wannabes, im sick of fat parents blaming mickey ds because their kids are fat....face it, if parents were to raise their kids right, they wouldnt be so easily influenced by their peers or by their favorite artists...i agree especially w the part of how as time goes on, we as a society are getting worse and worse...from what ive seen of families nowaydas, it seems parents are lazier than ever, how many parents put tvs in their kids rooms, and so they can have some peace and quiet they let the boob tube parent the kids by sitting them in front of the tv and the kids soak it up like a rag...i think the ones copping out are society...we seem to blame everyone and everything but ourselves when it comes to our own personal well being.
