just out of curiosity, who was on trial (and for what) where she perjured herself??

Her bodyguard and manager got into a gunfight with a rival crew while at a radio station. She said she didn't see it happen. Video and witnesses (including former Junior MAFIA mate, and Biggie friend L'il Cease) said she did.

It wouldn't make it any less true. I assure you.


It's really pretty simple, suferdude. When people write songs about wanting to kill you and overthrow your government, you don't like them or their songs.

When enough people in a genre of music are all singing the same message, then the genre becomes infected with the message - fairly or not. Not all 60's folk music was about peace and love, but so much of it was that it was ineffective messenger for anything else. The same thing has happened to Rap. It is no longer an effective messenger for anything outside the "gangsta rap" stereotype. What you think or believe doesn't matter. Rap has made its own reputation, and nothing is going to change that.

No you are simple minded. Your aguement could not float in jello. Hip hop is now being made in every major city in the world. So someone is listening to the message. If you choose not to like it or listen that is fine but your simple explination is crap. Personally I do not listen to music that talks about killing people and overthrowing the government. I do, however, listen to concious hip hop that expresses fundamental problems with society and the government. This is after all a democracy and a persons voice is suppose to be heard. So once again you are trying to speak for me. You could never speak for me, you are too one dimesional. Open that third eye up alittle grasshopper.

Yes, sir !!! Bring in Jesse Jackson and let him 'splain it to us! He can bring in Rev. Sharpton too. Oh , Right !!!

Now, that would be a serious move !! :(

Seems like a little parody on "You can take the boy out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the boy" could fit here. You can add your own words. It's going to be a LONG, LONG, LONG time before any of these dudes and dudettes are going to begin to get it, let alone get it. :(
