We have innocent children getting shot going to school or even sitting at their kitchen tables doing homework. This is a slap in the face to those innocent children and hard working people in those neighborhoods. How can the scumbag mayor of chicago and other liberals who “ act like they are compassionate” just sit back and let this happen?
Nancy Reagan started the “ just say no to drugs” campaign. Perhaps Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson should initiate a Just Say No to having children before you are old enough to drink and before you are married campaign. that message in conjunction with aggressive stop and frisk will clean up those neighborhoods rather quickly, opposed to the black and white Left just doing nothing as there are now. There are also plenty of jobs out there. Lets make this happen...

Did u just say that?? why r ur statements always humanitarilly correct? ur thinking is always factual but... on this board ,u maybe should not call a politician a bad word.."This Place is Bugged"..Carlos Marcello,circa 1964...

Rooster,

Didn't Puffy play high school football with Andrew Campos of the Gambinos, and didn't they remain friends?

Campos and other Gambinos used to hang at the Bad Boy studios during recordings.

Puffy definitely tried to play up the Sinatra image when he was at his peak. This vodka commercial with "Luck Be a Lady". lol. The guy has class, that's for sure.

Here's an article from the conservative National Review telling rural whites they need to just stop whining and move to where the jobs are.

Quote
The white American underclass is in thrall to a vicious, selfish culture whose main products are misery and used heroin needles. Donald Trump’s speeches make them feel good. So does OxyContin

U mad bro?
" always startin' racist s*** " Hypocrisy much? I mean have you seriously look at the mirror lately.

Tupac & Biggie? rolleyes lol
This will surprise you since you don't know Black people but not ALL of us listen to HIp-Hop or even are fans of Tupac/Biggie.
So your statement is mute. By the way, Lupe Fiasco is still alive.

cool

The popularity of Tupac and Biggie after their deaths is starting to reach Elvis and John Lennon levels.

Elvis didn't create anything. Black people wrote his music. Taught him how to dance. Taught him how to sing. Taught him how to live.

Lennon was influenced by black blues artists, as was most of the British Invasion.

Aces cant discern political propaganda from entertainment. His political views were probably forged in the fires of Bruce Willis movies.

Of course its pac

Biggie was a lyricist, pac was lyrically preaching

Plus pac had a larger catalog (im talking about before he died, fuck all the posthumous shit)

Naw i wouldn't call Biggie a lyricist. His lyrics good but more concentrated om wordplay & bars. Yeah you could say that about Tupac. I just see them as being a bit overrated.

The legends of Tupac and Biggie are untouchable. Their haters must be exhausted after 20 years of trying to downplay them. Pac is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

The only reason tupac or whatever his name was, is in the rock n roll hall of fame is because he was a colored guy. He belongs in the rock n roll hall of fame as much as chicken chow mein belongs in an irish pub. I dont think anyone took that induction seriously.

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame recognizes all forms of music that challenge authoritative or puritan standards of its time. Hip hop is rock and roll, and Pac is a legend. If they just wanted to induct a token black they could have inducted Will Smith. He's not in, because he's not rock and roll. Tupac is. So is all gangsta and political hip hop.

The disillusioned! Tupac sang that we still have not seen a black president. The song was changes. We have seen a black president. Still no changes. Tupac, more than Biggie, taught young black people to blame everybody else for their problems. Instead of using his popularity to inspire blacks in a productive manner, he contributed to the problem. The events that transpired throughout the final night of his life demonstrates that he couldn't change. Will Smith is still alive and enjoying his life.

What does being alive have to do with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? Half the people in it are dead. It's kind of the point. It's what they accomplished in the past. Jimi Hendrix is dead. So, does that make Michael Nesmith of the Monkees a better guitarist than him? Because...he's alive? Tupac has more meaning and substance in one verse of any of his songs than Will Smith does in his entire body of work.

"Tupac is rock and roll" "Hillary will win" and then you mention Hendrix is the same posting as tupac. Something isn't right in the useless mind of yours. Get the fuck out of here.
