These kind of pictures, reports, call it what you want is also a part of what we
call 'bling bling' in 'gangsta' hip-hop. There is not any moment in this video
where you'll see blood, peoples dying for real, it's all about what they show

just looks really sad how a the people of a city ended
up like that.
I don't know about the city, but the country is what I see ending up
like that. No matter where you go here, there are those that, though

For me, (commercial) Hip-Hop sold out for product endorsement and the

Well...I find it quite easy to watch even though the
topic is pretty tough. I am glad I grew up 60 miles
to the north in Flint, but really the same stuff is
