I think the title of the thread is a perfect example of the negative effect Gangsta Rap has on the kids... "Is the Fillmoe the coldest spot in the bay right now?"....
Cuzz tried to make it sound like it was cool that folks are getting "Murdered" in Fillmoe right now, similiar to the way rappers make it seem like beef and funk are cool...
Ain't nothing cool about fearing for your life...and if any of you have ever truly feared for your life, you would know half the bullshit in rap ain't no where close to being cool...
This man said that 14 yr olds can't even go to school because of the beef, and you want to down the man because he put one of your favorite rappers on blast...
On Hood 2 Hood Messy Marv wasn't surrounded by a bunch of "Grown Men" like himself talking that Taliban shit, he was surrounded by little kids you stupid muthafuckas...You really think the shit he promotes in his rap doesn't affect the kids...
If I was a young nigga and the neighborhood rap star, whom I looked up to said we riding, then I would be riding, because no one wants to be viewed as weak, and much of the music out now challenges yoru manhood in a way... To say you are a square if you ain't hustlin, rappin, jackin and bustin on a muthafucka, who wants to be labeled a square?
I'm 100% nigga, but I am going to have to raise my kids around whitefolks, because I'd be damn if I lose one of my kids to the senseless violence perpetuated by the whole rap, I'm a hard ass nigga that will kill you for no reason culture...
