Do you really want to say it that badly? Marrah_G Apr 2012 #10
No, but I do believe that it's slowly losing power and don't mind it in hip-hop. nt Snake Alchemist Apr 2012 #11
Your OP is really offensive Marrah_G Apr 2012 #12
Why is it offensive? nt Snake Alchemist Apr 2012 #13

The intent is to foster discussion. I'm a fan of hip-hop. Some consider the use of the word Snake Alchemist Apr 2012 #36
It does seem that intelligent discussion that actually produces positive results about some subjects bighart Apr 2012 #51
Then your problem is with Kayne West and Jay Z, not the OP Fawke Em Apr 2012 #57
Don't have a probelm with the op or anyone else, bighart Apr 2012 #61
