    Suge knight rapper in trouble. Murder caught on film

    Camera shows Suge running two guys over, killing one. Dang!

    Suge says this vid will prove he is innocent, and was acting in self defense.

    i don't know too much about him either. One of those bad guys from the infamous "Death Records" label.
    Fine addition to the wonderful world of music... Not.

    Suge was accused of murdering Tupac Shakur and B.I.G. a few years ago, or at least paying to have them killed. Lack of physical evidence kept him from being charged. Not the kind of guy you want to piss off.

    Coincidentally (or not), it almost rhymes with "thug."

    I'm ashamed of myself for knowing about this wonderful specimen of the human race, but I believe he also gained some notoriety for dangling a guy upside down off a balcony

    IIRC, that "guy" was Vanilla Ice.

    It's widely known the guy is a criminal and hopefully he will be put where he seems to feel at home---a jail cell.

    Agreed... Its kind of sad to see that jailhouse culture of this ilk has made its way into popular culture. Looks like dirty business to me.

    And I just don't get it. Young people flock to this crap, music and culture. What's the point? What positives are there? But, let's make sure we're careful here. It's just a handful of people we and the media seem to focus on. The one rotten apple in the barrel. We haven't found a way to separate the bad actors from the people who turn their backs on this type thing but still get painted with the same brush. These are the people I think about and deserve a great deal of attention. I suppose I could keep going with this but I don't want other peoples' toes under my shoes.

    I think it is macho wish fulfillment for a lot of wimpy suburban white kids. Or maybe just the latest way for kids to scare their parents with their music. Hell, back in the 1970s it was too easy. I used to be able to do it with Kiss records...

    But the results now are far more devastating.

    I always wondered about this. Black kids typically don't listen to heavy metal and yet white kids listen to rap. I think it's about macho posturing and wanting to fit in. People will listen to something or pretend to be into it to appear cool and be part of something that is socially acceptable.

    Fine. I'll skim it off the top and flush it down the sewer.

    I'll agree here. And if it has a hint of danger, so much the better. Or, what we are conditioned to as dangerous.

    Rap and hip hop are "entry level music," they don't take any education to appreciate or talent to make. You don't have to be able to sing or play an instrument, all you need is a fast mouth and a lot of posing. It's perfect youth music.

    Like any style, it has morphed into some pretty sophisticated permutations over the years but at its heart it is street music for non-musicians.

    Actually, it's about doing shit that pisses off your parents. As Lemmy once put it, "Parental outrage is the stamp of approval, isn't it?". Gangsta rap and death metal (and all the other more ridiculous forms of metal) exist for the exact same reason.

    Whether macho posturing has anything to do with it, I'm not sure. One of these days, we're going to find out that most of these gangstas are actually suburban kids who've never even set foot in "the hood", much less lived there, and the closest thing to criminal activity they've ever done is circulating VHS tapes of Saturday Night Live amongst their friends.

    And you might laugh at that suggestion, but I remember hearing about some rapper back int he early 90's, I can't remember her name, but it eventually came to be known that she was not was raised in the suburbs but she was also private school educated. That particular revelation, as I understand, killed her career.

    Well, and rhythm.

    The record labels love rap too; it's cheaper to make than music that uses musical instruments and people who play them. You don't need songwriters who use melodies and chords either.

    As for that murder, yeah, saw it on the news yesterday; pretty disturbing! You'd think with the money these rap stars make, they could rise above that kind of criminal behavior.
