While there is a kernel of truth to blaming hip-hop for a violent cukture, PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY SUPERCEDES MUSIC'S IMPACT ON THE WORLD. when are people going to start blaming the violent people instead of the intangible music they hate so much? no, hip-hop is not perfect, but no music genre is. heavy metal/rock regularly celebrates violence, suicide, drug abuse, and is never out in the news for being the background noise for mialbox bashings, random bullying incidents and the like. tricky is desperate to become noticed and decided to take a page from 50 cents "get famous or die tryin" attitude- if i piss people off, they'll talk about me and eventually buy my crap-tastic music! it looks like part one is well under way- let's go back to ignoring this tricky individual....life was more fun without him.
