somehow you never hear of classical musicians or country stars getting into brawls like this
He’s got Street Cred now.
Wow...just 8 and 10 years for murder.
If it was an English-speaking whitey they would have got life
Hip Hop and Rap are absolutely destructive entertainment forms. The only forms of music that encourage the killing of others
