So many times the families of perps who are "sons of Obama" make the claim that the poor miscreants were "aspiring rappers". Well, this time, these guys really are aspiring rappers.

I just had to post this. Read the article, great family.

Ha, the baby mama didn’t know how to spell the baby daddy’s last name. More obama sons.

Call the PC police but if I were an upstanding black person, I’d be identifying as anything but black. Every day trumps the previous for racial embarrassment.

I'm an avid music buff and can appreciate almost all types of music from classical to blues to jazz to rock, etc. In fact, I like to discover new music by listening to genres of music that initially don't appeal to me. Almost always, I come to appreciate it.

That is not the case with rap music. And I've tried. I've listen to Snoop Doggy Dogg and Doctor Dre and Jay-Z and Eminem. I just can't appreciate this music. It's too angry, too nasty, too hateful. I am never put in a good mood or frame of mind after listening to that. And that's not to say these artists have no talent. They are quite inventive with their rhyming and there are lots of hooks and loops that are interesting music-wise. There are even some songs I learned to like a little. But I just can't get past those mindless, senseless lyrics and the constant beat-beat-beating of the electronic drums and synthesizers.

The best and simplest description of music I've ever heard is that it is "organized noise." Well with rap, it's more like noisy graffiti.

Don’t be too hard on the poor hood rat.

He was turning his life around.
He was going to get his GED.
He was going to start paying his child support .

He was going to quit rap music, and aspired to hold up liqueur stores .

up-and-coming rapper

I guess "aspiring rapper" is a little played-out by now.

“spits rhymes” — My goodness, what an appropriate term.
