Bustah Rhymes isn't a gangsta rapper.

This was probably an act of random violence or some loser out to make a name for himself.

hip hop...rap.....all a bunch of crap.

when black music went from Motown, soul, funk and rock, to this crap.......and the pimps at MTV promoted this abhorrent lifestyle....it has had the effect of destroying the country from within. And then all the stupid white kids who think they are some kind of vanilla rappers follow right along while their parents just throw up their hands and say "well what can you do?". despicable
