fast cars, big jewelry...material things in general are what blacks aspire for...it is our measure of success. Meanwhile, other races are looking for property and other types of ownership to define their success.
Rap made it cool to have the best rims on the block but still living with mama.

I agree...There was a time when I used to think like TDog, and that it was someone else to blame and not rap.....
But I see things really different now. When I see little 7 year olds cussing and carrying on every morning (I live across the street from an elementary school) and singing explicit rap lyrics, there is a huge problem.
No doubt most of the responsibility falls on the shoulders of the parents, but the music and images it is promoting isn't helping either.
As far as kids wanting to be sports starts......ummmmmm....ok, maybe some.....but I could show u 500 kids right now who want to be the next 50 Cent.....so they on the block hustling, doing all sorts of sh&*t so that they too can have a story to tell...
and what makes it worst is that 90 percent of these artist (including 50) have little to no talent. Listen to a JayZ accapella without the beat and tell me what the fack he is talking about...
