Nas has a rap song that has the hook of A3's "Soprano's" theme song. No big surprise really, just a heads up for the hip-hop heads. I know someone on here loves 2pac. Anyway.

I thought it was pretty stupid that it was a song. Anyway, I guess there are a lot of Sopranos fans out there.

Here's one of 'em! But as far as the title song goes, I could take it or leave it. I think the lyrics are very appropriate for The Sopranos (esp. Tony), but I woulda' preferred more of a hard rock kinda' beat. I think for the most part, the music they select for the show is pretty good.

I think Nas must be a big fan of Mob movies/TV shows. In his latest song (w/ J. Lo) he talks about the movie Casino and in one of his videos he acts out one of the scene where DeNiro and Pesci are covering their mouths while talking to avoid government hired lip readers.

Also I don't know if any of you watch MTV Cribs, but every rap star/pro athlete seems to insist on mentioning that they have the movie Scarface on DVD.

another thing that pisses me off is JaRule's label "Murder Inc". The label Ashanti is also on. Her video "Foolish" is all based on Goodfellas.

Whoa, Lord forbid if an African- American should come to this thread, and be offended by some of the comments. Unless they arent intelligent enough to find this board and post.

Yeah Corleone, atleast the Irish had some sort of gang going on, I know i'm not italian that's why I used this name. But all blacks have is.. the black panthers and crip and shit. I don't think it is right for them to think they are italian, I don't think I am.

well Santino they might and might give you hell for typing that and might think you're an ignorant and racist man(even though they don't know you .). But hey who cares.

what i wonder is why do blacks critcize whites for getting involved in "black things"and whites get labelled as racist for criticizing them for wanting to be down with the mob and trying to be like them?

They might they just might.

nice signature he's my fav as well.

Well I wrote that because I am black, and I did feel a little, offended with just a few of the comments, but I don't want to make it into a big thing, I just wanted everyone to know that some opinions may be a little TOO open and should be kept in. But no problems here.

Nothing black people can do can be funny or wrong. They are a minority, so they can do what they want OR ELSE... (Well, it's true. Sorry...) The Mafia is what their gangs want to be when they grow up. They realize they have nothing on us. To the black guy on here: don't be offended by the things we say. We don't mean to offend you. You guys can laugh about how we can't dance, and we can laugh about how you guys want to be Italians. Don't take everything so seriously, okay?

In my family we always were taught never to be afraid to say what we thought. I do think it's true. We are far too politically correct in America. I don't mean to stir up trouble, though. Maybe it is because of where I live, but in my mind blacks aren't minorities. Down here in Louisiana black people have a lot of power and influence. I also believe that the only thing holding African-Americans back are their own attitudes. I have many black friends, and I live in an area where the population is equal parts black and white. Some black people I know cannot let go of the past and just consider themselves American. The rest are being held back by those who create a bad image for themselves. There is a difference between remembering your heritage and wanting to be seperated from whites all together. I just hope that one day color won't matter... even if it isn't until after I die.

Guinea Guarino,

I respect your honesty and you do make some valid points. For example, in regards to political correctness: a couple months ago on one of the CNN news shows the discussion was about "racial profiling" and whether there should a more extensive search/profile of "mid eastern" men or those of mid eastern decent who board planes in lieu of 911. Personally, I don't see why there should even have been a discussion about it. Those against of course thought it wasn't fair. I say, if that is where the trail is leading, we need to follow and pursue that trail for the safety and security of our county and it's people.

I am Italian/American (Siclian): And had these terrorists all been of Italian decent, I would have no objection whatsoever to be interrogated/searched/questioned more than the other passengers. I just don't understand how anyone could object!!!

Guinea you are right.

They can do whatever they want, because if they're not allowed to we get called racists. Want to get insulted, diminished? go see Martin Lawrence, The kings of Comedy, or watch B.E.T's Comic View for five minutes.

They get their own channel but if we wanted to do that. I'm sure it wouldn't go through.If white people had a comedian like the above he'd get shut down, and there would be stupid protests.
White people are raped of their right to say what they feel and want. Is that fair?????/

If this was a board about a black gang would they be so kind to us????? Worry about not offending us as much as we do??? Hold back from saying as much as we do???? I'd say no.

But then again that's just what i think and i'm sure i'll get plenty of replies from hypocritical white people and hypocritical blacks alike.

So be it. I don't feel like arguing however what i say is not pointed at anyone one.

I agree whole-heartedly with Guineapig. I mean, it's just not right. Whites are constantly verbally abused by blacks and it's tossed off as "joking." But, as soon as a white person says something a tad bit offensive, we are jumped all over. I mean, God forbid we mad a WET,(White Entertainmant Television) we'd be written off as racists! And, I'm not a racist. I have alot of black friends... But, what's fair is fair, and what's right is right. Whites have no privlages or rights anymore. It's fucked up.

_________________________________________________

First let me say I am not African American, Im puerto rican But i think thats besides the point.. I think your wrong in saying blacks want to be Italians... To me its alot of RAPPERS (RAPPERS DONT REPRESENT THE WHOLE BLACK COMMUNITY by the way)Rappers are the ones that incorporate "Mafia Names" into there work.. artist with the name Gotti and rappin about La Costra Nostra, havin names like Capone and Noreiga...To me its not them wanting to be italian but in a way wanting to associate thems selves with the POWER that GANGSTERS have..

and to answer the question someone asked about why all the rappers and athelets have the movie SCARFACE
1. cus its a BadAss Movie Point Blank Period..(its one of the BEST Gangsta Movies made.

2. They probally think it makes them cool havin that movie.. Like having the DVD and showing it off is like in someways to them like they feel they relate to Tony.. (Watching MTV Cribs one day with I think Shilk the Shocker he of course was letting us know he got Scarface and im sorry i cant stand the little No Limit Soldiers but he went as far as to say him and Tony Montanna were in someways the same... Tony Came from absolutely nothing and worked his way to the top on the Drug world...He had Major dollars and power..... and silk worked his way from the ghetto to lower class of Rap GAME.... I just feel that was an insult to "Tony Montanna".........

Santino-I can definitely understand why you find some of the comments offensive....I dont see why is it not ok for African-Americans to want to be Italian but it is ok for Irish to want to be Italian.
Is it ok for Irish to want to be African-American (i know many people who fit that description-my sister included!) or for Italians to want to be African-American?
I dont think one can be justified and not the other.

This is a purley stereotypical conversation. Your all talking about people thinking there black, or italian, or white. It has nothing to do with color. Its about your environment. You are gonna adapt to your environment. FOR EXP.If you are around a bunch of penguins you are going to adapt to a penguin lifestyle.

well to answer goddaughter's question why would you try to be somethign else? Be happy w/ what you are you can't change it... why try to emulate a race's costumes. I don't like when Blacks "try" to be Italian :rolleyes: (best way to put w/ the fucking vultures just looking for mistakes to debate on it) or for Irish to try to be black, or for blacks to try to be Irish or for the Irish to try to be Italian it's all the same thing to me.

I have been reading this thread for a while, and I think this is all lame. I am ethnically Filipino, but growing up in Southern California by the beach, all of my friends and neighbors happened to be blonde, caucasian, and liked to surf. I did things that they did, like surfing and skateboarding, so was I trying to be white? No. I was just being exactly what I was, which is a Southern Californian.

I have a cousin who goes to boarding school in England. He's half Filipino and half Norweigian, but he's got an English accent. Is he trying to be English? No. He just speaks like that because he spent his formative years in England and has adapted their customs.

People give Eminem a lot of crap because he's a white rapper, but he grew up in an area where he was exposed to the rap culture, so that's what he knew. If anything, these people who are allegedly "trying" to be like another culture are much more open-minded than a lot of you, who think that because your ancestors happen to be from a certain country that you "own" the rights to the beat of the Sopranos theme song.

there are two sides to an opinion and if both explained clearly they can both make sense... it all goes back to who started the culture arguing over this is useless i don't recall anyone saying that because they were of a certain ethnicity they owned the rights to a certain song if you see it pls point it out to me, but i'd rather say what i feel if you like it great if you don't block it out who gives a shit just somebody else who doesn't agree w/ your opinion. You do w/e you want sure, but ppl do have the right to think that you're making an ass out of yourself and trying to be something you're not b/c you're not.
