Personally, I don`t want to get drug into a long discussion about Lynch`s past or his music. The fact of the matter is this; this tragic event has shook many of us within Sacramento, and all of us have realized that something has to be done to try to stop the madness on our streets. He is a voice of underground rap, the godfather of horror-core, and his participation is greatly appreciated.
As Satingun has tried to explain, as we grow older, our attitudes change. Our value of life changes. Sometimes it doesn`t happen until tragic events like these happen, but we are always growing as a people. Some grow in other directions than others. So regardless of his past, how does it hurt or offend anyone if Lynch realizes the status of our streets and wants to contribute on a positive level? Wouldn`t it mean more coming from someone like Lynch, who is known for his vulgar lyrics, to take a stand and say enough is enough?
And just one more topic on this and my voice is back to the mission at hand.
For most of those on here arguing about his lyrics and his stance now, are probably the same ones who are hoping for the SOTS Lynch to come back. Who have been critical of his recent works because he has been growing as an artist and man, and trying to evolve from just the rip-gut artist he`s known for. I wish more of you who have followed him throughout the years would appreciate the severity of the situation and commend him for taking a stance and having a voice. I have yet to hear anything from any other artist on this topic, outside of those who have lined up to join us with this event.
Regardless of the irony, he still needs to be commended for stepping up. It takes a real man to stand up for something right, while fighting your demons along the way. I don`t know many who would do it. Real talk!
