Thug life…Gang Sta Rap. They live the lyrics of the music they listen to. Mom should hear what music he’s hearing. I’m sure it’s NOT Bach or even Nat King Cole. It’s the music 🎶, man, it’s the music 🎶.

@scaramouche8244 … They voted for complacency. It’s insanity. They voted for the same policy and the ppl that endorse it and expect it to change. It will continue because it has for years under democrat rule.

@natsusatsujinki8342 … No, you are WRONG!! The rap genre comes in different types of lyrics. Not ALL those who listen to the violence in Gangsta Rap are prone to it. It depends on your socioeconomic culture at the time and the ability or reason to create “Street Cred”. Besides, certain types of drug possession are still criminal. Music can soothe the savage beast or it CAN CREATE IT. I don’t think ppl who listen to Nat King Cole are prone to go shoot ppl up. Go listen to him when you have a chance and hear the peace in his music and lyrics.

@johnsnow145 ….Yep. It’s human nature to live and imitate that which is in your environment.

@ManeThingz …Obviously he doesn’t stay in the house….THAT ISN’T WHERE HE WAS SHOT!!! Where was he shot!!? OUTSIDE THE HOUSE. Unfortunately, he is a victim. The police don’t know if it was a random shooting or an intentional hit. Gangsta Rap is at the root of the problem and Thug Lifestyle promotes it.

@ManeThingz …Comments are an observation by those who can look at the situation objectively and without bias.

@pandabear3161 …I agree with you. However, the violent rap music brings along with it anger and internal hostility rather than lifting the listener up. No one ever wants to do violence if they listen to the great Nat King Cole… right?
