S. FLORIDA SUBURBS LURE THE MAKERS OF HIP-HOP

Miami Herald ^ | Nov. 14, 2004 | Evelyn McDonnel

[JesseHousman]

Trick Daddy, Trina, Pitbull and Jacki-O, et al. The intellectual architects of destructive attacks on what's left of true American culture.

It reminds many of what's wrong with our children. If it isn't the homosexuals wanting to get their hands on them, it's these hip-hop sleaze bags. America's youth are being converted before our eyes by garbage noise-makers.

[anniegetyourgun]

Great....just great....

[Recovering_Democrat]

So where are the people creating melodies and lyrics?

America's youth are being converted before our eyes by garbage noise-makers.

And where are the parents?

[sgtbono2002]

Hip Hop isnt music its rythmic noise.

[JesseHousman]

I don't believe it's rythmic noise. Noise.

As you pull up to a traffic light, in any city, the boom, boom, boom and mindless chatter of the imbecilic rapper intrudes.

[peyton randolph]

I'll add this to my list of places I'll never live.

[JesseHousman]

Many are in prison. Some have been murdered by their friends. It's great to know our children are being entertained by the crap entering their brains via the earphones.

[JesseHousman]

And where are the parents?

Out to lunch or on vacation.

How do you know it's "mindless" if you can't specifically state lyrics?

[rdb3]

Out to lunch or on vacation.

And there lies the blame.

[JesseHousman]

Who in the hell truly understands the lyrics. Most don't even know the meaning of that word. Mindless comes to mind.

[csvset]

Well, now that Old Dirty Bastard is gone, someone needs to carry on.

Old Dirty Bastard found dead

[rdb3]

Who in the hell truly understands the lyrics.

Me.

Most don't even know the meaning of that word. Mindless comes to mind.

Ha! Well, that would be too easy.

[rodguy911]

This is truly the story of the entire Miami/Dade area. Since

the mid 50's the area has degenerated from live broadcasts

of the Arthur Godfrey show, or Jackie Gleason to touting the

likes of Trick Daddy and pit bull whatever. It's been a sad

road downhill and I'm glad I got out before it all evolved.

When people ask me where I am from I never say Miami where I

was born I always say the Keys.

[Texan5]

"And where are the parents?"

God only knows-I'm always amazed at parents who just leave their kids adrift with no guidance, then wonder why they are into doing bad s***. If they listened to the lyrics of a lot of this stuff, it should be perfectly obvious that there are just some things young kids don't need to hear, any more than they need to see most "R" rated movies or read Playboy/Penthouse-adult content is adult content no matter what the venue, and children are NOT adults.

"Invictus" has been my favorite poem since I was a child...

[JesseHousman]

Here's what the area, as well as all metro areas in the USA, are degenerating into:

Yet another reason to do what I have been advocating for years: cut South Florida loose from the good part of Florida, and let it go adrift.

[Pikamax]

The fact that Florida has little in taxes has nothing to do with all these people to live and work in South Florida.

[Clemenza]

Actually, Coral Gables, Doral and CocoPlum are pretty cool places to live. Miami has its ghetto nabes like any other area, as well as its gay enclaves (South Miami Beach anyone?). I enjoyed living there, as it was the first time in my life that I had Republican represenation at all levels, including State Senator Rudy Garcia, who authored the law banning late term abortions in the state.

Of course, places like Liberty City, North Miami and North Miami Beach are sh-tholes. That's life in urban America my friend.
