interesting concept,real interesting concept…gone and follow in his footstepz and turn yo self in maaaaan.that was foul whut that dude did!

There was a robbing crew that took care of their family the whole time they was in the mix. In their early years they stayed in and out of jail. Meanwhile their family was eating. This crew went to trial one last time, beat the charges, and left the country. Their family is still eating and so is that crew.

what the f**k are you talking about? Hip Hop needs a better class of criminal? Shoot yourself, and when judgement day comes, tell God to leave you in Hell for a dumb ass statement like that! Hip Hop needs a better class of Civilians, Teachers, Doctors, Lawyers, Accountants, Athletes, And better MC’s not criminals!

“Hip Hop Needs A Better Class of Criminals!”

WHAT THE F**K!?

Matter of fact, WHY THE F**K do people think that HIP-HOP music is all about making songs about engaging in criminal activity!?

HIP-HOP music, for the umph-tenth time in a row, is all bout expressing oneself!!!

It IS NOT ABOUT being a PIMP

It IS NOT ABOUT being a BALLER

It IS NOT ABOUT how SWAGGED-OUT you are

It is NOT ABOUT being A CRIMINAL

geez!!!

And you wonder why Nas said “Hip-Hop is Dead”

How about black people stop holding criminals in such high regard altogether? Regardless of the crime, it was crime. Remember when KRS-One fashioned his album cover after that famous Malcolm X picture? What happened to that?

by now, RK, you realize how absurdly silly your thesis and article is, correct(?)

Do it the Madoff way. Black people today have it confused. Madoff is a true gangster, a REAL HUSTLER. Wall Street is where the real money is at, not in rap music. Anyone saying they are rich off rap is making false statements. This man hit a lick for 65 billion, not million, BILLION dollars. Compared to wall street, rap music is still selling crack on the corner, just in another form. Madoff stole more money than all these so called “rich”(and I use that term loosely) rappers are worth combined. Real talk it’s bigger than what most people think, but most black people only know what they’ve been told, so hey, that the way it is then.

No thats whats wrong with black ppl and all ppl alike greed. cant be content with 30k yr gotta out shyne your neighbor

Music = Entertainment. This blog = Entertaining.

You recently accused Charles Barkley of being a fool. I guess it takes one to know one.

He (Madoff) got away with it for so long because he’s white…..the “man” doesn’t think to look towards caucasians as quickly as blacks. Vito Corleone was caucasian (not to mention fictitous). When Nubian Americans stop trying to emulate other cultures so much and embrace “their own” then things will get better. This article is only perpetuating self loathing!

What is it for a man to gain the world but lose his soul-The Bible. Its sad how us as a nation has lost our way. Have we all denied God to worship our own ” god of greed”? Dont forget what happen to some of the ppl God saved from Egypt. And if u think about it us as black folks are just like them.

What I learned from this is that the writer of this article loves gangster movies and has fantasies of becoming one. I don’t wanna be Bernie Madoff, I wanna be the LAW that caught and sentenced Bernie Madoff. I wanna be the one holding the GUN saying “UP AGAINST THE WALL, M*THERF*CKER!!! YOU ARE UNDER ARREST!!!” I want to be a high-priced LAWYER with my own LAW FIRM, a SUPREME COURT JUDGE or THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY. I wanna put rich white-collar criminals like Bernie Madoff in JAIL FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES, so law-abiding citizens can’t get ripped off by them anymore.

well it takes more “brains” to pull of a ponzi scheme (hell i barely even know what that word means and i aint dumb) than it does to sell drugs, so thats why the law is treatin madoff differently than they treat dealers. also, i don’t see how somebody sellin drugs is bein a gangsta and that’s what rappers try to make it look like. gangstas from films did more than hang around hoods and shoot at other gangs that they didn’t like. in fact, what they did didn’t have nothin to do with any other gangs. they did bigger crimes and were able to bribe crooked cops and get away with bribin them. they also were white like the cops were and that made a difference because cops have been racist for a long time. had these criminals been black, they never would’ve pulled the crimes i’ll bet. so in a way, the s**t rappers say is funny because its oftentimes not what they would do in real life because if they did, they would be caught and facin so long of a sentence they wouldn’t be able to make a rap career of it. and besides, if they did it and go away and then rapped about it, they’d be snitchin on themselves and others. everybody knows snitchin is wrong in the rap community so they would never be able to go back to their hoods ever again and a “thug” without a hood is like a dog without a bone: as good as dead. at least that’s how i see it anyway. good read. i like commentin on s**t like this.
