It seems that citing Jason Whitlock is a means of conducting research on the black community for wack sports writers.
basketball wives gets blasted on twitter for they ignorance, it makes all black woman look bad
mob wives, jersey shore etc. characters are treated like pop divas.
thats the real issue

Bob Costas is using his status as a popular sports newscaster to go on his soapbox and give his opinion. Now, he can give his opinion on stuff because this is America and all, but he's also going to alientate people too."Guns are glorified in hip-hop culture". Bob Costas
He said it on the daily show w/jon stewart.
yeah, isolate the gun culture to just black people and rap.
I despise this guy.

Word.it doesn't matter. how many rappers have shot up schools or killed dozens of children with an AK?
It's always the nerdy outcast white kid who does. they prolly listen to grunge metal or whatever.
Next time kanye walks into a school with a pistol like they might be able to having some credibility.
But as long as it's some suburbon white kid laughing maniacally like they gonna have to find another excuse.
Personal i think is cause they don't beat their kids enough.
If the words "fukk you Mom!" have ever come out of your mouth you are prolly the type of person who didn't get enough spankings and is capable of shooting up a kindergarden.

Are guns really glorified in hip-hop culture? I think Bob Costas is mixing in gang culture and low-income crime with hip-hop and the two are not directly related. It's like Criss-Cross were two dudes who wore their shirts backward and performed hip-hop music. Nothing to do with guns. I mean, yes, there is hardcore rap that talks about shooting cops but that's not hip-hop.
Ehh you had me up to here.
It is hip hop. But it's hip hop the way emo music is Rock music, the way death metal is Rock music as well.
Don't shy away from it. Hardcore rap is a sub-genre of the music aspect of hip hop the same way that other lesser known or not as popular or mainstream friendly genres of Rock are part of Rock music.
The problem is when America once again tries to make hip hop or any aspect of it the scapegoat of American societies ills. It's lazy and ignorant and fukk Bob Costas for doing this. It's really disgusting.

You are right. It's been awhile.
All these semantical arguments and disengenious plea copping are ridiculous...
And it's Kriss Kross btw...

I respect Bob Costas but his view on hip-hop is outdated, had this been maybe 2005, he would've been right but now I'm not sure if gunplay is in the top 5 of hip-hop topics anymore.
