Check out Happy in Bag later today, he e-mailed me earlier about this video that we're both trying to do our best to ignore but it's simply too stupid to put out of my mind. Expect a much more insightful post from him, whereas I think that garbage like this is simply just one of many excuses to go and find Kimora Simmons and punch her in the face.
Seriously, I don't think Pope John Paul II was thinking about hip-hop dirtbags making "hood" videos when he talked about a culture of death but that's the first thing that came to my mind when I saw these local dumbasses waving around their guns and drugs.
Surprisingly, this video seems as if it was shot in the winter so these guys managed to survive last year's murder spike . . . Cool, but it seems more like dumb luck.
And people wonder why nobody wants to put money into real develpment.
ReplyDeleteJust fucking brilliant.
Welcome to three weeks ago Tony.
ReplyDeleteeverybody in this video should be round up and shot.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure they'll die of a gun wound anyway, but not soon enough.
Regardless of who discovered this junk, it is just as stupid now as it was three weeks ago. I have watched it in disbelief more than once and submitted it to hotghettomess.com. It is sure to be a winner! What does it take to get people to realize that this kind of display deserves ridicule and not admiration?
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Anonymous #4. There's nothing admirable about this. It's sad and depressing, not admirable.
ReplyDeleteBut hopefully the more people see it, the more people will understand that there are serious systemic problems that need to be addressed somehow.
