[ BayUndaground.com ] : Do you think that the lyrical content of gangsta/thug rap albums is dangerous to young, flexible minds?
[ David ] : Of course I think it's dangerous. I knew it was dangerous even back then. I heard so many facts of how many murders, shootings and drive bys were done with my cd playing. I myself would get hyped up to do some damage while listening to Pac back in the day. The fact is that most rappers aren't as crazy as they rap, because if they were they wouldn't be rapping, they'd be in prison. I met many men in prison that laughed at rappers saying they gangbang to the fullest, yet have never been in prison. It's impossible to really gangbang to the fullest and not be in prison. Because the very nature of gangbanging to the fullest means that you are full on playing politics, killing an enemy on sight, and green lighting anyone that is no good in your hood. It means getting up in the morning with only one goal, to find enemies, and handle your business. So the young people that are at risk in their homes and schools are easily influenced by these rappers, and they become hardcore because they want to follow what they are hearing on CD. I'm just keeping it real. I mean no disrespect to those that are street yet don't overdue it.
