Do you guys think this operates as a satire/parody on any level?

I was talking with some people and I've seen it said on a few other websites that people are legitimately reading it as a satire and a commentary on rap and the music industry.

I guess I can see that? But I never engaged it as such, just for the fukkery. But if it is a stone cold satire it was operating on a level that I couldn't really pick up :ohhh:

Of course. :blessed: I mean come on. Ghetto Ass Studio, the name of the studio is actually called "Ghetto Ass Studio"

Lusious Lyon some weird hybrid of Andre Harrell and Puffy Daddy and getting into all types of fukkkery.

i've never had an issue with interracial relationships but gatdamn...its like theyre trying to shove this shyt down our throats.

thats four and counting between Grace's parents...Tianna and her girlfriend, Andre and his wife, Jamal and his boyfriend

they got every fukkin kind of interracial relationship in the tv show :dead:

But got one relationship between a black man and black woman. Think about that shyt for a minute.

Being gay isn't a decision it's genetic, if they see fakkits on TV it won't turn kids who are hetero gay. It would be like saying seeing some females on TV in positive roles turn straight boys into wana be transgenders

what's wrong with your reading, I just refuted the notion that seeing a gay will turn a child gay so all that bloviating of genetics can be used elsewhere. The problem is with a child's development, if he's being raised by his mom and the only representative of a male akin to him is a down low bro from a tv show you don't see that as detrimental? :what:

Seems like the problem is the father not being there. The problem isn't what's shown on TV pleighboy. Trust TV to train your kids brehs

yeah cuz a child isnt likely to see the world through the power of media when a parent isnt there right? not sure if its an IQ thing or if you just have a habit of over simplifying but i had a feeling you would go down the father needs to be there route. Even if a father was present but a workaholic that still doesnt diminish the corrosive impact this imagery of sissified emasculated black men will have on young bucks. This reality is loss on the ears of a cac and c00n
