Who bears responsibility for the rap wars, the rappers, Jimmy Iovine or MTV?<\/p>\n
We have free will in America, ultimately the shooters must take
responsibility.\u00c2\u00a0 But, we live in a society, do we really want people going around SHOOTING people?\u00c2\u00a0 I mean what if you get hit by a stray bullet?<\/p>\n
Oh, you say you’re not living in Compton?<\/p>\n
Well, if you live in the city and you haven’t heard shots, you never leave
the house.<\/p>\n
How racist is the U.S.A.\u00c2\u00a0 You KNOW if white people were shooting each other
there’d be a Congressional investigation.\u00c2\u00a0 But black people?\u00c2\u00a0 Off the record
most white people will say it’s just one less person to rip them off\/hassle
them.\u00c2\u00a0 As if the worth, identity and ACTIONS of a person can be determined by the
color of his skin.<\/p>\n
Credit MTV.\u00c2\u00a0 After finally agreeing to air Michael Jackson videos, they
embraced black culture.\u00c2\u00a0 Then again, do they bear no responsibility?\u00c2\u00a0 Are they just
a reflection?\u00c2\u00a0 Can they make no decisions, have no impact?<\/p>\n
Really, couldn’t MTV ban the video of anybody who fires a pistol?\u00c2\u00a0 Couldn’t
they decree certain videos wouldn’t be aired not out of censorship, but a
desire to establish a better society?<\/p>\n
No, 50 Cent’s badge of honor is he’s been shot multiple times.<\/p>\n
And Jimmy Iovine.\u00c2\u00a0 Who enabled Suge Knight.\u00c2\u00a0 Dr. Dre was unavailable but
somehow Suge extracted him from his contract with Eazy-E and made a deal with him and Jimmy released his albums?\u00c2\u00a0 Why do the label heads always get to stand on a tall pedestal and rant and rave about people stealing their product and
their past actions, their PRESENT actions are never investigated?\u00c2\u00a0 Never see the
light of day?<\/p>\n
That’s the kind of culture we live in.\u00c2\u00a0 Where there’s no accountability.\u00c2\u00a0
Money trumps everything.<\/p>\n
Couldn’t the VMAs have made REFERENCE to the Suge shooting?\u00c2\u00a0 At least lamely
deplore it?\u00c2\u00a0 Oh, are they worried Puffy will whip out a gun himself??<\/p>\n
I’m all for revealing the problems of the ghetto, but can we not use it as a
sideshow, as pure entertainment?\u00c2\u00a0 Can’t we DO SOMETHING about the problems
revealed?<\/p>\n
No, not in America.\u00c2\u00a0 We want LESS money to go to the disenfranchised.\u00c2\u00a0 We’re
just concerned with ourselves.<\/p>\n
What did JFK say?\u00c2\u00a0 Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can
do for your country?<\/p>\n
And what did Bush say after 9\/11?\u00c2\u00a0 GO SHOPPING?!!<\/p>\n
