You'd never see those shows about Pittsburgh.....because it's Pittsburgh.

There are "gangster" movies/shows about NYC, BOSTON, PHILLY, etc.


lol Using your own logic, then "Blue Hill Ave," "The Wire" and "State Property" means Boston, Baltimore and Philly glamorize the stereotype, along with the countless gangster movies/shows about NYC.
I said in the beginning if you would've READ that NYC was one of the caveats because it glamorizes everything....but even NYC recently has glamorized the Thug and Ho life as of late

Because Bravo has decided that that is what America wants.

There are many businesses that were featured in previous seasons that have made it clear they are NOT welcome to film there any longer. Tell you anything?

Killin cops and rape? What rappers are these? You praised this dude as the pride and joy of Pittsburgh and now that he just like the other rappers you say "well that is just one rapper" and try to compare the entire south easter region to one city.

#1 - as sk8t suggested, just awhile back you were trying to use Wiz Khalifa as an example of how "Pittsburgh doesnt glamorize the stereotype"

I point out how this guy actually plays right into the stereotype, then you change your tone to "oh oh well thats just one rapper out of Pittsburgh out of numerous in the south"

lol but you JUST were saying how he was so much different.

Also, the point you're trying to make right there backfires.

Wiz Khalifa = the only mainstream PITT Rapper. That leaves 100% of PITT's recognized Hip-Hop scene as "glamorizing the stereotype"

ATL has the likes of Andre 3000, B.O.B, etc. lol that alone means ATL's % of nationally recognized, stereotype glamorizing rappers is lower than that of PITT's

lol...blackbeauty said "oh thats just one PITT Rapper"......as if PITT has some broad selection of mainstream rappers like many southern cities do.

Here is more of PITT's black community not glamorizing the stereotype.

lol get off your high horse of illogical arguments trying to say that southern cities appeal to the stereotype more because of what you see on BET. That argument doesnt even make sense, considering that PITT basically has next to nothing on the mainstream to base anything off of. If you guys did, who's to say it wouldnt be JUST like those youtube videos I posted above???
