The saddest thing is, once again, blacks and black culture are being exploited for the money making schemes of the white wealthy industrialist.
Over all and overwhelmingly, the production, distribution and most importantly the transmission of rap music is controlled by lily white hands.
More grist for the mill.
Some smart ass white honcho, picked up on this ghetto poetry and convinced his boss that they could sell it back under the guise of "it's a black thing" and it succeeded beyond anyones wildest expectations.
It's not about music, it's about money and the white machine that controls it. It is very, very good at pushing anything through that will make it more money.
The machine works so well that kids in the Czech Republic, that can't speak English think they are gangsters. Just wait until they find out who made those $350.00 xxxxl jeans (ferschtaste).
Remember it's about money, not music, it's about exploitation.
What should have been a soul searching opus of the expression of black cultural angst was turned into gangsta' drivel.
What should have been a blip, a footnote in musical history, what should have been studied and what should have brought us closer together was turned into a multi-million dollar gorilla with a a "grill" of all things!
Ruined, exploited and made to garbage all for a measly fucking dollar.
Now I don't normally like to talk about these things so I won't.
