HEY ! you forgot basketball!!!!

all kidding aside,

im pretty sure mcdonalds and starbucks hire black people.
If the ghetto kids you talk to dont like the idea of working at mcdonalds, its not cuz theyre from the ghetto, its cuz theyre lazy fucks.

if your parents have money it's a blessing u are able to easily access help and travel and food but don't take it for granted, as far as these wannabe gangsters there just confused,but there is nothing wrong with wearing urban clothers or liking hip hop music, as long as u don't have the attitude.

I know the guy

His family is super rich, nothing illegal here

[MC Hammered]

I didn't say there was anything illegal going on.

I'm just saying that he's stupid.

So, the ones that make it want to show everyone they've made it. A bunch of major hiphop artists support and fund african charities. The fact that they flaunt African blood diamonds is to show their roots. Show everyone you can make something from absolutely nothing. I don't think it's ignorance.

It's those 17 year old white kids who flaunt their bling that bugs me. It's probably because I work with the real thing all day and I think these 'suburban gangsters' are a bunch of pussies.

You don't know much about hip hop do you?.

[Tayfoon]

He can afford to lose as much money as he wants any day


Thats the sad thing

[firestar]

Whoa whoa. Whats with all these personal attacks? Fuck you.

You're damn right I'm going to defend myself here.

Listen, I didn't even bring up the race card. But, there was comment before about African americans being lazy and have choices. I'm sorry dude, you're wrong. You grow up in poverty mate. You have nothing. I'm serious about these people not having options. It's so easy for you to say 'well, why don't they just move out of their state and get a job at starbucks..' - right? That's the farthest thing from the truth.

And as for myself? There was comment before about growing up rich, and acting the same. I don't know how I would be, because i'm not rich. I would hope I'd be normal. I'm saying, if I ran into a couple million bucks, I'd have some cool shit, but I'd be the exact same person.

I think Ray said it best. It's cool if oyu like hiphop and like dressing nice, nothing wrong with that at all! I love hiphop and dressing nice. It's when you flaunt it. Flaunt like you're the king shit that pisses me off.

Ever666 you can suck my dick. You're a 'head' of hiphop in Vancouver, right?You think you're the king shit of all musical genres so there's no point debating shit with you. SO, back your bullshit comments up with some valid information and I might listen to you.

edit: This wasn't supposed to become a shit-flinging contest, but in true fnk fashion, it has. Sad really.

Your an idiot you come on here claiming you have to be a black kid from the ghetto to be hip hop these wanna be gangsters you talk of probably don't know any more about hip hop then you do. There's alot more to hip hop then just music people from all walks of like can represent hip hop it's not about rave or what ghetto neighbourhood you come from. Get a clue.

Where did I say that you had to be black? I originally didn't even pull the race card, someone else did. Ofcousre hiphop represents all walks of life, someone just was talking about black people specificially, so I commented.
I have no idea where I said 'you have to be a black kid from the ghetto to be hiphop' - the culture and what surrounds it is based on poverty, trying to get ahead. I never said you can't have a ton of knowlege about hiphop, and grow up in a middle class. But hiphop started in these ghettos, the roots are there for the most part, that's all.

I bet most of you don't even know where the term "Ghetto" originated from...

[Clayton.]

I know about thing's like the "Warsaw Ghetto" in Poland but i'm guessing it comes from something alot older then that. Do tell.

no no your right on the money

[Tayfoon]

I think its just as retarded for black kids as it is for white , asian and E.I's to act like gangsters


No one is fooled

[hardstylin]

this kinda shit is the main reason i could never live in a city.

[dabbler]

ok ok i'll say it. they're not their. :P

[quote=firestar]You know what though? Black people born in raised in New Orleans/Baton Rouge.. they're in a different world, they're allowed to act gangster as they were raised in poverty and the 'game' is their life. If they get rich, and flaunt it, Fair enough. They're from the real 'hood' with absolutely nothing except drugs or hiphop. ( I work with these peeps all day, these cities are a different world than what we think is everyday living)

ok, so while i was living in phoenix i met a nice old black man who was grooming for my friend kris. he has a SWEETASS accent, so one day i asked where he was from.
NEW ORLEANS he was as oldschool-cotton-pickin' nice guy as you get.
a sweet old grandpa figure with a badass accent.

i'll always remember the day when i walked past one of his horses stalls while he was in there and he said to the itty bitty tiny filly we called peanut
"i'm auh fuk you up!"

i just about peed myself laughing.

he was truly a sweet man from the deep south

i wonder how much of it is just straight up rebellion?
ie: 16yr old kid, silver spoon. embraces the 'street' because that's the exact opposite of most corporate dads with degress, 6 figure jobs, 7 figure houses. not to say some of these kids are even smart enough to figure it out, i'd assume it's mostly sub-concious.

there's a girl at the racetrack who's daddy is a rich lawyer.
he bought her fake tits for her 18th.
her idea of rebellion was dating the biggest pig crackhead gallop boy at hastings park.
he was some kinda nasty.
all in the name of pissing daddy off.

we called him cowboy dan.
we called her not gonna make it.
