What is this garbage?
No, he is a scumbag, and so is his wife.
The writer is a very lost man.
If nihilism and hatred of our culture is greatness, well then, yeah, I can see it.
Warren Buffet likes Jay? Well..ain’t that special
Why would Front Page Mag publish this garbage?
To the Author: Jesus is calling, please respond. Without morality, role models are pretty easy to come by it appears.
JayZ is not done with drugs. This music is an opiate that raises plenty of money from little kids for what?
Don’t buy it.
The problem with this writer is that he thinks that most young people are looking at the man/character of the rapper, when in fact, they are listening and wanting to emulate the man/character of the people about whom these rappers sing!
We adults can step back, analyze and realize that Jay-Z, Eminem, etc... have become successful artists and business professionals.
The kids listening don’t care about that part, they care about the wild, rich, sex and drug filled lifestyle about which these artists sing! They figure, hell, if 50-Cent can deal drugs, get shot and then sing about that lifestyle and become successful, I can go and do all those things and also come out as some multimillionaire!
The fact is: MOST of those thugs don’t make it and just end up with a rap sheet, unable to get a decent job and then blame the “system” or the “man!” How many of us wanted to be an NFL superstar? How many of us actually BECAME an NFL superstar?
This writer is delusional if he thinks the young generations are able to delineate one from the other!
As Satan noted when training his nephew in The Screwtape Letters:
“Cards are as good as murder, if cards do the trick.”
Noting the sin need not be spectacular, as long as Satan wins the soul.
B.S,!
BO is still around?
I turned him off more years ago than I can count-—as well as every other tv “news” program.
If I can’t read it on FR, I don’t need to know about it.
Life is good……………..
“as the hip-hop lifestyle teaches so many important American values. From the importance of rising up no matter what your circumstances, to constantly working hard and seeking more and more, to personal responsibility”
While not a fan of hip-hop myself, a fair number of my friends are...and none of them get the good side of this out of it aside from maybe the rising up part.
I don’t know anything about Jay-Z, but I will respect this man’s opinion. If you grew up in New York City (or Chicago, or LA or Miami) then Jay-Z is what you know.
if Conservatives expect and want black Americans to be conservative, then you have to expect people who like Jay-Z will be in the tent also.
For some people, the only thing they respect is a person’s ability to accumulate wealth, regardless of how they do it, apparently.
“None of us are perfect”......
I can name a great many people I have met in my lifetime who are not perfect, nor am I....
HOWEVER——NONE of us was EVER a DRUG DEALER!!!!!!!
NONE——ZERO——ZIP——NADA.....
1) perils and quirks of inner city life
2) beatboxing
3) breakdancing
4) graffiti
5) fashions derived from urban styling
6) ebonics
no thanks, I'll pass
Big Pimpin’ Lyrics:
“Nigga it’s the big Southern rap impresario
Comin’ straight up out the black barrio
Makes a mill’ up off a sorry hoe
Then sit back and peep my scenario
Oops, my bad, that’s my scenario
No I can’t f*** a scary hoe
Now every time, every place, everywhere we go
Hoes start pointin’, they say, there he go
Now these motherf****** know we carry mo’ heat than a little bit
We don’t pull it out over little s***
And if you catch a lick when I spit, then it won’t be a little hit
Go read a book you illiterate son of a bitch and step up yo’ vocab “
