All rap is about today is making people angry. It’s the most aggressive, angry, violent crap spewed out of people’s mouths, ever.

A big amen to that. When I first heard this junk, I thought: I give it six months, max. Was I ever wrong.

And to think, we once had popular music with real melodies and interesting arrangements. Oh, well. It's all in accord with the decline in the society.

Washington — A US man was executed Wednesday in the state of Texas for murdering a recording studio owner whose equipment he also stole, prison authorities said.

Ray Jasper, 33, who had spent the past 14 years on death row, was declared dead by lethal injection at 6:31 pm (0031 GMT Thursday) in Huntsville, a Texas prison spokesman said.

In his final words, Jasper thanked his supporters and urged his family to “please take care of each other”.
