Rap is crap with the “c” removed. It is not music, it is not art. It is a mindless assault on the senses.

As long as I don’t have to hear some damned boom box in a car vibrating with noise.

This is just your opinion. Rap is still the most popular music style.


Word.

People in Echo Park pitched a fit when they renamed Elysian Park Ave to Vin Scully Ave.

I wonder if this renaming will get the same kind of heat in South L.A.

In any event, I'll never see it. You couldn't pay me to drive thru that area. I've already dodged enough bullets in my life.

I don't get it. A black rapper with a conservative pro-entrepreneurial message and all we hear from the Alt-Right is stuff about the guy being a thug or gangbanger.

Can you provide any evidence that Nipsey Hussle was truly anti-white other than that one song lyric?

We have plenty of monuments to people who are white and who were anti-black. John Wayne Airport in Orange County. The Jefferson Memorial in Wash, D. C.

While you feign outrage about Mr. Hussle's gangbanging, you neglect to recognize some very positive things he did:

-In March 2019, Hussle had contacted officials from the LAPD to arrange a meeting with him and Roc Nation about what they could do to help prevent gang violence in South Los Angeles. The meeting had been scheduled to take place on April 1, 2019....he was killed just a day or two before.

-He helped launch the tech incubator/co-working space and STEM center in Crenshaw. It was designed in part to encourage inner-city kids to get into tech, math, science, etc.

Here is a quote from Hussle from March 2018 praising the entrepreneurial spirit:
"In our culture, there's a narrative that says, 'Follow the athletes, follow the entertainers,'" he said. "And that's cool but there should be something that says, 'Follow Elon Musk, follow [Mark] Zuckerberg.’ I think that with me being influential as an artist and young and coming from the inner city, it makes sense for me to be one of the people that's waving that flag."

And here is more from Hussle about helping urban youth AVOID self-destructive paths:

"I remember feeling, like, No. 1, what's the point and, No. 2, maybe I'm tripping. Maybe I'm not even supposed to be ambitious; maybe I'm not even supposed to be thinking this big and thinking outside the box; maybe I should just follow suit,” Hussle said. “That's a dangerous thing. I would like to prevent as many kids from feeling like that as possible. Because what follows is self-destructive."

That intersection should be a great attraction to the homeless and a great place for them to take a crap.
