point: everyone knew wayne went to mcmain. everyone knew he was from "pigeon town" nestled under them dealers/killers. we also knew the kid didn’t finish high school.

the truth is: wayne is an asshole. ask any of his former hot boys cohorts and they’ll tell you that. so even if he could pen something more interesting than gangsta 101, he won’t.

as far as rapping goes, dudes was speaking about this talented rapper from uptown, before cash money, when he was only 11 years old.

no doubt about it, dude can write. blame it on ice cube, but i’ll listen to some of that shoot’em up shit if the wordplay is laid out properly.

4 kids later, and some peppered gray has got me leaning toward kalamu these days. i’m tired of the lack of growth, and i don’t feel like dancing.

I have been enjoying since it showed up on the Web (Don't think I'm gonna watch that show!) I believe that you can still pick up the mp3 of the performance at http://www.3030media.net/ I laughed when you said "don’t run out and buy Beautiful World" because I almost did! Thanks for teh heads up. Anyway, that's how good that song is. I was about to buy the Thicke! The Leno performance was great.

Baba I’m simultaneously where you was with “Brickhouse” (I don’t listen with my brain), and where you are now (I hate the message). The way I justify my listening though, is I just say ‘these doods are just telling stories’. Like you say, we know that half the shit they rap about ain’t real - unfortunately it takes many of our ignorant bretheren to get caught up or killed to realize the same. There are too many socio-political issues intertwined to make a true definitive statement about the effects of “gangsta rap” in the discussed context - so I just get my bootlegs and bob my head… (bad website link the first time)

Shallow life = Shallow music

Just ‘cause it sound good, don’t mean it have to make sense.
