word...but reality is we do get influenced by what we take in...all of us, not just kids...that's why these e-gangters be on here fonkin' over this and that artist because they take this stuff for real...the saying goes, you are what you eat...in a literal sense, you are what you read, hear and see...for instance...in 92, wasn't nobody smokin' weed as much as they are now...and you can trace that back to Dre's Chronic album...that made it cool to smoke...what ever you constantly take in that's what mentality you develop, you might not take it as far as some people but you still develop traits and characteristics of whatever it is...you tell a race of people for so long they are stupid, and won't make anything out of themselves, eventually, they'll buy into it, even if it ain't true...repetition makes habits...but if you take the same group of people and tell them how wonderful and smart they are, they gon' start believing it...there are a lot of weak minded individuals who believe what they hear and see without doing any outside investigations of their own...LOOK AT THE 2000 and 2004 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS...you can't look at something or hear something over and over again and not be affected by it in one way or the other, that's just the human mind...try listening to gospel music and reading and watching positive things for 30 days, you will have a change of perspective...it may be large, or it may be small, but there's going to be a change...humans take 30 days to develop a habit...adults and kids...but most kids are far more impressionable than adults...bottom line is, rap is an awesome tool that could be used to broaden our (the race's) horizons and uplift us, but because of record company owners, advertisers, producers and artists, it is used to demean and degrade our women, kids and men, perpetuating negative stereotypes that will lead to the destruction of our people...and don't get it twisted i've been spittin and appreciating the craft since i was a kid...from Whodini and Run-DMC, grand master flash, Kurtis Blow, NWA, Ice Cube, DOC to e-40 and the click, C-Bo, Nas, Ras Kass, Mac Dre, Rich the Factor, of course YOUNG FE, even TI, Eightball & MJG, UGK on and on...but the music promotes drug use, which could lead to dependency or make it hard for us to get jobs because we gon' drop dirty...it promotes criminal acts that will lead to us gettin' locked up or gettin' labeled as felons which makes it hard for us to function in society...it promotes animosity between each other...a brother would never sell a true brother dope to kill him...and man wouldn't dog his sister out call her a bitch and leave her with his seed...it sex which has turned AIDS into an epidemic in the black community...just think about where we gon' be in 30 years...between AIDS, drugs, and jail, we are gon' be extinct for real...we dyin' slowly and don't nobody care...that's whats up
100% true....I get your point. Basically your saying its cool to have the negativity for entertainment purposes but weave some truth and upliftment in there too. Balance. Hey not being sarcastic but you should run for some sort of political office. You seem to have balance, your not a square but you aint involved in the bullshit either, you have an insight that these other black leaders dont have. Shoot for the moon my nigga, just in case you miss your still amongst the stars. And your so right about these internet gangsters on here, they are tooooo serious about these rap artist. If you've noticed nobody except 1 person has posted cuz this has been more of a positive discussion and or debate. But if we were talkin bout 50cent being tighter than Yukmouth then all hell would break loose.

Ah shit I got one...! Remember Brywood on 63rd? The dollar show? That was the shit. And Swope Park aint got the swimming pool no more?? Remember to get in the 12ft they would make you swim across first to make sure you could swim. Oh and Johnnies hell yeah..Italian Steak and a day old twist donut...and Dobies hell yeah that was the spot, I wasnt old enough of course but moms used to kick it there. Anybody remember crackhead Lil Dave with the funny eye that used to hangout in front of Bee's and open the door for everybody. Remember doing flips on old matresses in the park.

Shit you went way back and brought memories to the thread,I do remember the $1 show on 63 by the old drive that use to crack and know it is the swap n shop.And the swiming pool at swope park use to crack in th summer tyme and you see hell gurls there you liked and wanted to get at but you were a youngster.Do yall remember hot summer nights use to crack in the summer time and the youngsters always had somewhere to go and kick it in the summer for a dollar,but you always had knuckle heads that came to the part and wanted to be there just to bang.But now they don't have shit for the lil homies and homettes thats why so much killing is going on in the City,they need to get more involved with the kids instead of trying to lock them up.But thats the way it is.

And Esodericc took it back cuz I VAGUELY remember that show on 63rd by the police station..wow! That was like the early-mid eighties. But you got me with the Electric Company. But check this....what yall know about them Thundercats cartoons, He-Man, Elastic Man, Voltron,The Transformers, I was the only girl on my block with the Constructa-Cons..remember that was the dump trucks and trackers,etc that turned into the big green robot. Anybody remember Silverspoons, remember the lil white boy had a mini train in his house...I always wanted that..What yall know bout Diffrent Strokes, Webster, oh shit remember HEE HAW..I hope I wasnt the only lil black ghetto child watchin that shit. Remember Friday Fright Night and Ray Adams from Adams Toyota used to run those dumb ass commercials. Remember the brown cable box with the buttons and the lever on the side and the long ass chord everybody would trip over? Rememberthey had a white one too and you had to slide it from left to right to change the channels. Bet yall dont remember what channels HBO and Showtime was...I think it was 14 and 16. Remember it was the shit to wake up Saturday morning and watch cartoons and eat Rice Crispy's....soggy shit! And you really be tryin to here some snap crackle and pop..yeah right..LOL Did anybody else go to James Short Stop on 41st and Prospect and play Karate Champ and Mario Bros?
