If you're going to start listening to rap you'll have to start dressing like your dogs. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by guidogodoy from Monday, December 28, 2009 7:56:50 PM)

That shows real maturity to admit such a thing. It was truly a tumultuous time in Detroit. I was not kidding about the sandbags and machine guns at the suburbs. Three streets away from my house. They used to send my father into the inner city to make business calls because he was Mexican. Like he wouldn't get shot as easily as a pure white person. Right. That is a great part of why I still hold to "not all rap is crap" statement. Especially literate and historically significant rhyme.
No harm, no foul, compadre.

You're right, I should be more open-minded. I have been a little irritated from being a little sleepless. I do need to read more modern history anyhow. Plus I used to be part of the rap crowd in high school as well so I shouldn't be saying anything either. I always regret my outbursts and this is no different.

Sorry, I grew up 20 years before you and three streets away from where they set up the sandbags and machine guns.
Read a little, kid. Malcolm X was also a key player in the movement in Michigan. Read his autobiography someday. Perhaps you'll understand that "not all rap is crap."
Open your mind, buddy.

Yeah, I was too young to remember that. Besides; I live in Tucson, AZ where NOTHING significant really happens.
