Some Ill Shit

[MIKELABZ]

My Mom Works For The School District Out Here And We Were Driving Home From Dinner Tonight And She Tells Me Bout A Guy Who Was Battling And Had Made A Bet With His Opponent For 50.00...

The Guy Lost And He Didnt Pay So After School He Gets Shot And Killed And 3 Others Wounded And The Dude Who Won The Battle Turns Himself In....

[mad flows]

[Shonsteez]

Yeah man, that shits rediculous.

 

[spin]

that shows that all those new kids 8-16 are completly out of mind... and the shit is that for their actions their are blaming movies and video games...

 

[MIKELABZ]

Apparently It Happened At A High School... So We're Talking 15-19

 

[RigorMortis]

That is taking it to the streets..

This is why there needs to be more positive influences in music! Not saying that he did that because of the music but man, think about it for a second... All this new music is all about killing mutha fukers and doing whatver to get money and shit like that... Kids in high school look at there favorite rap artist and want to be like him/her not thinking for a second that , that is just an image... Don't get me wrong im down for my feddy too but i would never pop someone over an incident like that.... What are you getting from it in the first place? Violence is not only being portrayed in music as okay but look at what bush has done... This war makes people think there is a good side to killing (maybe not the kid you are talking about, MIKE) but in general... Violence is becoming bigger and bigger everyday, and the reasons for people getting shot are getting more and more stupid... If my kid was shot over something like that or my kid shot someone for something like that I wouldn't know what to do with myself.. There is a million and one reasons why he could have done it but they all sum up to the same word "useless." Im, sorry to here that and i feel for the one that was lost thats just str8 up bullshit....

yea i agree ex - just like you said - its no denying that rap music doesnt have an influence on people's mind. i dont see how rappers try to justify it and i admit that im guilty of it too - all of this uncessary gangsta rap shit isn't good for the black community - along with the media, movies, war, etc...... and me and my people were talking about bush and the war earlier......he's doing the same shit people do in the hood - u disrespect their turf then u retaliate - same shit, its just legal......prayers to dude's fam

 

[Carpe Diem]

Oh shit....

Thats bad man....

Man I think people make their own decisions for the most part. Yea you might here bad subjects in rap music but these rappers don't MAKE anybody kill another person. Maybe if the kids parents brought him up a little better he would be a little smarter. Pull out the belt or something...MUHFUCKAS DONT BE AFRAID TO BEAT YOUR KIDS ASS...AND GET EM WHEN THEY YOUNG SO THEY LEARN. But I suppose it can influence those who are weak to a certain extent. But people got their own mind and nobody pulls the triggor for them....

holla

C'mon man! We're talking high school teenagers! High School is all about immatation and tryin to be cool, Music and what's goin on, on mtv and bet and it's cool to High School kids... Although thats not always what influences them, i think some way or another down the line one cat might be tryin to imatate another cat that does it because of what he's learned from his album collection.. Take this for instance, If your in the club and some lil jon Crunk shit comes on Talking about "Fuck that Nigga man, Fuck that bitch!" you wouldn't start feelin some kind of rage or urge to start gettin buck! I know i would, shit i get buck when some lil jon comes on, feel me? Think about that, and also.. Things have changed since I've been in school... I thought cats got crazy over dumb shit then but man, now it's getting out of control... Although i do agree with you ILL when you say that it is the parents fault also... But people can snap for a multiple amount of reasons, i can't even say why that dude did what he did..
