Someone tell me how racist this nation is again. I'd love to laugh in their face.
A “Few” people are consuming this bilge.
And some wonder why society is in the toilet.
It pays well to sit around complaining about how dark skin holds you back in America. :)
Let’s compare, shall we?
According to celebritynetworth.com:
Rush Limbaugh is worth $370,000,000.
Dick Cheney is worth $90,000,000.
Sean Hannity is worth $35,000,000.
Sarah Palin is worth $12,000,000.
Newt Gingrich is worth $7,000,000.
A million dollars is a lot of money...but in my opinion, any ONE of the people above are worth more than all five of the Forbes Five Thugs combined.
If “gangstaz” were the sole consumers of this “music”, there wouldn’t be any money in it. Without the white buyers (in this and other countries; this includes concerts, which always make the “artists” more money than the records do), the genre would be underground, in a literal sense.
Maybe that’s why that other “rapper” named Johnson cut off his own penis and jumped off a building a few days ago...
...he found out he wasn’t on “the list”.
Capitalism works. Always made me wonder about those that cry about it not working. It is the best system in the World. Not many places in the World where you can become a multi-millionaire with a high school diploma or even less.
Performance by the untalented for an audience of the uncivilized.
How much would these guys be worth if there were no food stamps and welfare pouring in to the “hood?”
My favorite word in the title is “Artists”. Thuggery set to rhyme is now raised to an art form. We are doomed.
