@Alan Davis….I bet you spelled half of those rappers names wrong. Unless it is the way they spell their ‘stage’ name. Figures. I stand corrected: You and rappers need to pick up a book and go back to school quickly before you all become illiterate senior citizens.

Stupid fucking article. I don’t want to hear gangsta rap that doesn’t involve sex, money, and crime. Even if this dude wasn’t rapping, he still would have been sippin lean his whole life. Don’t act like the rap industry is somehow brainwashing us and killing its own members.

Someone pointed out the lack of leadership. This is so correct. A true leader would show our youth how to make money without degrading ourselves, a true leader would show our youth how to become an owner rather than an endorser, a true leader would show our youth how to respect and protect his family, friends, and community.

I’m not in the Nation of Islam, but I respect the true leadership in how they deal with these issues. I don’t agree with everything they do, but they have a strong record in turning our people from the worst to the best. The bottom line, we need more real leaders who are true in their actions, not just their words.

Black Unity means financial independence and happiness

You see ,you’re the one with the problem. I can speak, type whatever and however I desire. By you pointing out a stranger that’s just writing a “comment” of a cellphone makes no sense at all, if you would’ve read the paragraph thoroughly you’ll ignore the vocabulary issue and focus on the subject matter. Which is that I blame all the imposters, all the out of town people for taking such a unique style that the south of Houston had for decades,we are the true meaning of trendstetters. Creating the famous sound of chopped and screw , custom grillz with diamonds , starched jeans and white tees , polo torsos, nikes on the feet,candy paint on a old school cadillac ,84s swangers with vouge tires , fifth wheel hanging, pop trunk, neon lights,bass banging,on highway 59 swanging down to Alief,sipping a pint of drank, mixing it with sprite and jollyranchers in a styrofoam cup jamming NOTHING but Texas music. DJ SCREW S.U.C,UGK,ABN, PIMPC BUNB ZRO TRAE THE TRUTH JAYTON LIL BOSS FAT PAT BIG HAWK BIG STEVE BIG MELLO BIG MOE BIG POKEY LIL KEKE LIL FLIP LIL O CNOTE WILL LEAN MR.32 PAUL WALL CHAMILLIONAIRE SCARFACE GETO BOYS SAUVEHOUSE DOPEHOUSE SPM LUCKY LUCIANO LOW G RASHEED SLIM THUG JDAWG DEVIN THE DUDE AND SO MANY MORE THAT I GOT TIRED OF TYPING. As you can tell Texas has and been putting out there own style for years! But since everybody out of texas realized how true and loyal houston community really is and compared to there city…had no choice but to appriciate our culture. Now tell me if I’m lying but almost very rapper is influence by houston turning it mainstream now the whole world think it’s hip hop,when it never was! w

@Alan Davis…you and males like you are a prime example of young black males who don’t, won’t, and refuse to speak and write proper English. I’m not talking ‘Grey Poupon’ English but standard English. Go back to school, pick up a dictionary, expand your vocabulary to include meaningful words so that you don’t keep yourself in the sterotypical mold of an uneducated and ignorant black male.

2 chains and lil wayne are sellouts they worship the devil and dont care about black America. As blacks we consume negative images by the pound and if a person is not like that we consider them as not being real or down. We have to take a step back and want better for our brothers and sisters. Money is not every thing once those rappers die they money goes right back to the white man. Its just black face on a deeper level. Ur still just a slave that entertains and at the same time perpetuate negative stereo type and set blacks back 100 years.

Where are the black so-called leaders? Why haven’t they organized rallies and protests against gangsta rap? If young black males are willing to do whatever it takes to make millions then you really can’t blame the record labels for pocketing just as much money. Since there isn’t an abundance of black-owned companies who would hire black people, young black males really don’t have much choice as to how they make a decent living. So for a young male, rapping about whatever is the ticket to a better lifestyle. Many of them grew up fatherless and in some cases, motherless. But soon as they become somewhat rich, here comes mommy, daddy, and a bunch of other relatives with their hand out. You wanna know why? Because having, making, and getting money is more important than black unity, providing a clean and safe environment, and knowing the true definition of being a black man.
