A real role model for Black Americans.

Minorities need to stop listening to Hip-Hop/Rap music. It's extremely negative and counter-productive. (69 being a prime example)

The greatest hip hop song is The Message by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. It spoke on the social ills of society on black and minorities. You can listen to it today and still relate to it. Commercialism poisoned hip hop/rap. I like the old school hip hop.
I saw a video of a 5 year old Puerto Rican or Dominican boy in The Bronx reciting 6ix9ine's song Billy, he confirmed my suspicion that he's a terrible influence. Every last bar of his is about murdering people or receiving fellatio.

I think people will get pushed out of The Bronx too if it's not happening already.

You know better than that

I don't listen to the radio

Lately I've been watching the freestyles on Hot 97's Funk Flex YouTube channel

You can tell who's using a phone and who's really spitting
The majority of rap/hip hop is hot garbage. It's basically noise pollution with pop music.

Good music; Jazz, Bossa Nova, Ska, Music from the 60 to 80s, Classical music.

One minute people will say no one deserves death and then the next minute you got people saying things like “xxxTetacion” deserves death but I agree that 98% of death is not deserved.

I listen to all types of stuff too - from Beethoven to Fela Kuti, Tame Impala, I listen to a wide variety of genres

I just know better than to pay the mainstream stuff any mind

If I want to hear good rap, I know where to find it.

And then again its the ppl with impressionable minds that get caught up in any garbage anyway.

All this, with so many returning come. Go figure?
From Paterson or just ran there? Jersey, CT and the South are hideout spots for NYC criminals!

I would rather have a christie quinn continue bloomberg's policies or have a moderate republican back when guilani was sane or center independent that was an engineer.



No far left candidate is going to win 2020 for president.
Sorry but Deblasio didn’t kill him!

So if they dragged the right guy out of that bodega things would have been ok with the Trinitarios? What a bunch of low life thugs.


Am surprised one egit was able to flee to DR so quickly. Where did he get the money and so forth? Investigation needs to go right down the line and start charging people as accessories. Lock em all the eff up.
So saying 'oops, our bad' is supposed to make it all better?
