DISQUS

After reading this post I cant help but agree with you that he had a choice. Oh boy when are brothers gonna learn. It is sad and all too real.

I know...it is heartbreaking...another talented brother gone to the system...when he had a choice...sad.

Thanks for stopping by!

I wish I could feel sad, but I have nothing left. These are grown as men making fucked up choices when they know better. It seems that though history continues to repeat itself, no one is getting the message. Pac and Big left the hood physically, but their minds were still there and that's where their pblms began.

It is indeed a gift and a blessing to have a voice and a platform to show your talent to the world, but when your mind is small and limited, you can only see what's in your little box and you can't focus on anything else. It seems a disease alot of these brothas suffer from. I don't know how many more have to be swallowed by the beast, but the list seems to be endless.

This is really unfortunate, but par for the course it seems.

I guess I feel sad because I had hope for him, you know? There are only a few left in the Hip-hop world that I feel are still true to continuing to uplift it, to help it grow and mature, and I really thought he was growing out of that whole, "I need to be a gangster" shit. It really makes me want to go and grab his ass by the neck and ask him what the fuck was he thinking...how can you have the fucking world at your feet and fuck up so? So I guess I've grown out of my sadness and I'm mad as hell...

I'm really pissed off Marvalus because they know better! It's just total madness and what the Ancient Greeks called hubris! This kind of arrogance and belief that the rules don't apply is snatchin' away hopes and dreams like no one's business. It's a truly toxic mindset and it needs to stop.

I know Danielle, I know...it makes me mad too! Damn ignorant ass brothers! I totally agree with you...and with me raising a son who listens to this music and me having to go behind every single fucking time and tell him, "This is what not to do, this is not how you live your life if you get blessed with the opportunity to live out your dreams" is so tiring...I do it because I love my son and I want him to know right from wrong and I thank God everyday that I have given him morals and values and he knows fiction from reality and he knows that T.I. and Michael Vick, and hell just about all of them fuck up, but this shit is getting old!

OK, my rant is over...I say all that to say, I feel you girl, I feel you!
