maybe because that's what people like. especially considering everyone on these boards is a Roots fan (I'm guesssing). I think a lot of that same hip-hop appeal applies to war or mafia, both groups of people have that "I'm about to fuck your shit up" mentality. It's invigorating.

do you have a problem with war or gangster movies? and why did you reply to my post when you did so. I upped ?'s pick of run lola run, which is tied together about a somewhat crime related story, but doesn't really deal with either war or the mafia very much, memento, which again is based around a crime, but neither war or the mafia, and being john malkovich, which is not associated with anything violent.

Basically, what are you talking about?
