the hip hop generation has sent a good portion of the youth down the drain...its disgusting , sends the wrong message and there is no question, ESPN, MTV, and the NBA in particular have played a large roll in this garbage...We're talking about a generation of kids , can you imagine their kids?
Yeah its getting bad. I lived in Queens NY for 10 years and moved to Chicago last year. Im 20 now so i lived in through all of this hip hop geneneration thing and its not getting better. The way you talk... the way you behave... the things you wear and the music you listen too are just some of the things that people will judge you on. As i moved on most of my friends haven't. First it was weed...smoking it once a day is not as bad as you think... but 3-4 times and being proud of it is fvcked up. Friends try to get 3 bucks just to chip in for a blunt. Young kids at age of 12 that hanged out in the park now smoke and sell.
Now my boys doing yeyo on the side whenever they get thier hands on it. My best friend denies that **** all the time but some other friends of mine tell me he keeps on doing that **** whenever he has a chance. But thats life, the music has so much to do with it it's unbelievable. Its all about smoking... fvcking bitches... getting back at someone with your duce duce. But that **** is just too cool for them... and you can't stop it. Things have changed quick in the last few years.. because when you observing from distance you can actually see the change, but if you live it...its unoticable.

"I'm just trying to bring darkness to light the best way I know how," the rapper said in a phone interview with The Associated Press on Tuesday night. "I'm hoping everything turns out all right."
The rapper, whose real name is Corey Miller, was convicted Sept. 30, 2003, in the death of Steve Thomas, 16, at a nightclub in the New Orleans suburb of Harvey. He faces a mandatory life sentence without parole.
In April 2004, State District Judge Martha Sassone ordered a new trial on grounds that prosecutors withheld information on the criminal history of their key witnesses.
Prosecutors appealed the ruling, and earlier this month, two of the three judges on a panel of the 5th Circuit Court of Appeal ruled that even without the witnesses' testimony, "there was an abundance of other evidence which fully established Miller's guilt."
C-Murder asked for a rehearing before the entire court, but the request was denied Tuesday. He is being held in the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center in Gretna. Ron Rakosky, C-Murder's lawyer, said he would appeal to the state Supreme Court.
C-Murder told the AP that he believes other courts may have been swayed by media reports and negative comments made about him. He recently angered the local sheriff by recording parts of his latest music video and album behind bars.
"I think all of that plays a part, 100 percent. You've got the sheriff on TV saying he wants revenge," he said. "How can I win when it comes to decision that determines my life?"
C-Murder's new album, "The Truest (Expletive) I Ever Heard," was released last week.

Annoying add ons...
The BowFlex Gay Boy insinuating he'd like to see Men on TV with their shirts off.
Progressive (paraphrasing) , "If we're this helpful when we're trying to sell you insurance, just imagine how helpful we'll be once we have your money."
