a little off topic but, to someone like sc00n, who is an old head and was too busy living the gangster life to be emerged in some gangsta rapper fantasy, the music probably is nauseating. most people, who aren't numb to the sh!t because they've heard it so much, think the music is pure ignorance. but us, we're numb to it, we don't even notice it, or care. i think the only way i'd be able to take anyone who defends gangsta rap seriously is if the primary audience wasn't malleable, impressionable, easily influenced teenagers and youngins.. if the audience was grown men and women who had the mental capacity to differentiate entertainment from reality then i'd agree with yall supporters of this nonsense. but these kids are kids, ha, they believe their rapper role models and wanna be like them. i wonder what cheif keef and his crew have in their cd players....hmmm
