how about in a RESPONSIBLE way

the carter and thug motivation enhance the caricature propagated by mainstream media

undun unravels (or at least attempts to)

thug motivation had elementary school kids walking around the hood in crack shirts

are you serious? or you not from the hood...have no crack fiends in your family?

shit is laughable

**I mean almost EVERY album is gonna have to touch those topics (these are the issues in the black community)...the difference is in how it is treated.

i mean...i guess i assumed people understood that the roots were making a point.

why would anybody champion music that is a threat to the community??

only outsiders

"what album is more important" and then a mention of the issues "crime, violence et al"

why would i list an album that compounds or glorifies these problems?

you just wanna seem smart?
