Maybe it was a rare South Indian Kevlar Squirrel. They can't be killed by ordinary means.

I'm sure you've been shot and have shot more people than he has. You definately know how it is.

I don't think they are what you might call popular. I've never heard of these groups. My point is that rock bands are a genre saturated by white artists.

What about NERD?

:O I've longed for a thread like this. Let it be known I'm not racist at all, so fairly I persecute bad white rappers as well. Gangsters, ekh. Calling yourselves warriors while walking around with lead pipes and barettas and nightly plans to harrass society does not make you a warrior in the least sense. Perhaps barbarrians, they're warriors in a sense, but arren't warriors supposed to have honour, respect, chivalry and intelligence (so they don't rush into big groups of mobs)? Then seeing these rappers throw money makes my blood sear: gold fronts = useless, big rims = useless, sports jerseys, doo rags and sport caps that make you all look the same = questionnable, big cars = bleh I can understand the factor of preference, stacks of booze = useless. A nice big house out of the ghetto = street cred killer. So by affording all these things, they neglect fixing the ghettoes for fear of ruining the cred. Almost like they turn their cheek to their own families and friends just so they can remain to look cool.

Speaking directly to these rappers in question, the next time you air a video while flashing the ice, women and cars on the same reel as a 50x50 foot crack house sitting on a stool, don't you dare speak about the ghetto being a place of suffering, you bring it onto yourselves.

Exactly. If rappers spent half the money they do on the ice around their necks on the improvement of living conditions in the projects, they could make a difference in their communities. I don't think you see enough of that in the rap genre, especially from the gangster rap genre, despite their dominance on the air waves and, unfortunately in my opinion, their wide-spread appeal among the masses. Look at U2. Rappers such as $0.50 have arguably the same amount of influence as U2 does, just in an entirely different demographic. They have the power to make a difference, but instead choose to spend that cash on that new Escalade.

I really think I'd like to help him test it out, I wouldn't mind firing a bullet at the guy.

However...if I did, I'd have to make sure Eminem was between us. Two birds with one stone 'eh?

And it's not even like 50 is a messiah of talent, he's a good media chess player. Big bulky muscles, bulletproof vest, women everywhere, money all around the place, a crew to rub his balls in our face while we can't do anything about it, he's always finding schemes to shorten or ease the task of everything, like spelling Guerilla.

And that is what might just bother me the most. Some of these "stars" do absolutely nothing. I'm pretty sure the job application form for rapper looks something along the lines of this:

1.) Can you cuss quickly and excessively?
2.) Do you feel comfortable "rapping" in front of scantily clad females?
3.) Do you feel comfortable wearing a New York Yankees hat and an oversized football jersey?
4.) Do you own a firearm and/or illegal drugs?

If you answered yes to all of these questions, congratulations, you will become a rich and famous rapper in two weeks.
