Entertainment & Music - 27 December 2007

Or maybe ignorant is the right word. I woke up this morning and out of nowhere I am hammered with "you need to stop listening to rap, its unproductive and nothing but negative images"

Then insued a whole day of arguments. My parents gang up on me at the most random times!

My question is, when you listen to well thought out lyrics that have a meaning (Talib Kweli, Lupe, Rakim, POS, etc) what is wrong with it? My parents are saying "you need a postitive balance, you cant just be all rap" which is WHAT I DO. I happen to have (call it small if you want) a library of 2000+ songs of all genres, I just listen to rap more than I used to.

Maybe what I should do is sit down with my parents and let them know about the creative side of rap. Maybe I should burn them a mixtape (no clue if this would work) of LYRICAL rap that isnt BS "crank that" crap. Any ideas? I dont want my parents turning against me or holding prejudices against me because I listen to rap..

I hope that made sense lo

Joke ~~~ Why was the little guy laughin'?

An oldie but a favourite of mine..........

A baby was just born. He had all his pieces and looked quite normal, except that he was laughing like mad. All the doctors and nurses were examining the little thing in front of the worried parents but he kept on laughing and laughing and laughing...his tiny fists all closed and tears rolling from his eyes. One at a time, a paediatrician unfolded the tiny fingers to check if the hand was all right, and...guess what he found?

.......The birth control pill. :)
