Wait a second, how is there any racism involved? Rap/urban music tends to be popular with the very same young male demographics that commit most drive-by shootings, regardless of their color. When's the last time you heard about a drive-by where the assailants were blasting Perry Como or Cher or Fats Domino or Yoyo Ma?

Race has absolutely nothing to do with it, but the fact that you made that assumption is pretty telling.

Why did a 14 year old get 12 years for robbing a Mcdonalds? That's shocking. Oh well, his jingle was the best on there!

Well at least that guy can back up his jingle with street cred.

Stefanie, your racism is showing.

I thought 3 and 4 were good.

There should be a "please don't subject me to any of these" option. These all sound like soundtracks for drive-by shootings.

What? No one has a comment for this lonely thread?

Ummm ok.

If he thought he was buying food at McDonalds then he was the one robbed.

That's the best I can do.
