    I hope you are right. My thing is Tupac thought he was invincible too, until that S.U.V pulled up next to his car on the Vegas strip....

    Sad but true. And at the same time, May could do that to T.I. but T.I. is living dat life and I don't see May risking his freedom by potentially getting caught up in a murder trial if it came down to it. T.I. would. I HOPE this all blows over.
    I don't see Floyd as the one with the grievance here though. TI the one who got punked... If anyone lashed out in secret revenge it would be him. He should have shown TI more respect if he really wasn't hitting that... misunderstanding and pride can lead to tragedy. Floyd says he wants to preserve his health, but it's this exact type of bs that could shorten his lifespan. Really, it's a contradiction in terms if you ask me. Not wise.

    I hope everything settles down. Someone needs to reign Floyd in.

      Forget Worldstar... These are the examples time and time again the African American community gives the public to witness. Nearly the entire rap industry we can puke over ; just listen to the music, watch the videos. Sports show us these thugs just as well. Stop with this "judging". We see the lack of fruit in these peoples lives when they are in fighting publicly, children out of wedlock, every other word is a f-bomb, playing the ego role driving obnoxious cars, wearing all the gold and diamonds, perusing with their posse, demeaning comments towards women, and screaming race when things go sideways for them. Not a humble, live below youreans mindset to most of them.

        Cadillac u mean ... and Tupac, even though is my fav rapper, had a big mouth and had enough enemies to fill up a phone book, his death was around the corner regardless.

          ok, if rappers are emulating poor areas, then why is the poor areas the way they are...
          ANd there is no way that some of the youth is looking up to these idiots... when i was younger all i wanted to be was like snoop and dre-deep cover "187 on an undercover cop" years later i realize that i was an idiot,, but to this day my dream car is the impala in the Nuthin but a G-thang video..

          I agree that its not just black youth buying the albums,, when i was younger i had every naughty by nature, tupac, biggie, Wu-tang,, i even had god damn ONYX...
          But the difference is the suburbs arent actually doing shootings and trying to be hard... the urban areas, white, black, asian, mexican,, they do have the shooting and the crime, and their are kids thinking i could be the next Snoop, or Easy E, or Tupac.. They look to get "street cred" which is the dumbest thing ever... White boys in the burbs arent trying to be gangsters,, they are just posers and live out day dreams by rap songs, first person shooter video games, and action flicks....

            This may come as a shock to you but...those neighborhoods were poor before hip-hop existed.

            Second, since all you wanted to be like was Snoop and Dre, I'm assuming you've shot at least one undercover cop?

            70% of hip-hop albums are bought by white folks. So tell me, how do they emulate hip-hop artists?

              And Floyd is every bit as much a fool, maybe even more so. Despite his own childhood, Floyd still acts as much a gangster and womanizer as every rapper in music. Just thugs.

              • It breaks my heart to see what our American culture has degenerated into. Sadly - SMDH.

                  That said...

                  What does Magic Johnson's son being gay have to do with anything?
                  He supports and encourages his gay son in his immorally chosen lifestyle. Magic is compromised as well, because it's good for business. He's no role model, not even at home.

                    You dont think kids look up to the idiot tactics,, then why do alot of the urban youth, at least where im from in chicago and peoria all want to be gangsta rappers...
                    Its quite foolish to believe that kids wont think this is cool, and how you should repsond in a situation like this... Floyd really didnt do anything wrong, TI kept hounding him..
                    I wasnt trying to say earlier that everyone thinks these guys are cool.. but a huge percent do think its cool... thats why gangster rap is such a huge business in terms of sales...
                    Much like how dumb white girls think its cool to be like the Kardashians, and a bunch of white idiots think its cool to be like david allan coe...

                    Why does the songs degrading women, sensationalizing violence, and drug dealing are the biggest hits.... You have to be a complete idiot to think that the youth doesnt think this is cool.....
                    Why does rap hardly ever mention things like doing good in school, and saving your money and investing it wisely... because the youth doesnt think thats cool and it doesnt sell........
                    No one is trying to degrade the black youth, the only point was that idiots get idolized by society and the media, which in turn shapes the attitudes of the youth....
                    one thing u should know is that 70% of the consumers of rap music are middle class white youth who have nothing in common with the lyrics they are listening to.. also, the violence in the hood has no connection to rap music, what you are witnessing are communities in drug/gang warfare, in the 70s-80s the violence was worse and rap wasn't heard of. rap music is now just a scapegoat for everything that was going on before it. its much easier to point fingers at rap instead of trying to address the real issue, which is poverty, mass incarceration, a public school system in horrible shape and that operates as a pipeline to prisons, and the deteriorated family unit, these things take effort and dedication to address and fix, but its easy to blame a rapper that way you ignore the real problem.
