Why must someone resort to a video of this kind to get black people attention??? The sad part about it is that its TRUE!!! Ask your readers what they think of this video…
I seen this video a while ago, but now decided to post since they actually played it on 106 & Park. A good message but a horrible way of conveying. The overall message is lost by the vulgar lyrics and video.

I thought this was a sad cartoon depicting black people as a race that does not read nor take care of their bodies . I agree with you RealTalkNY, that it was hard to fully see the message due to all of the profanity.I know someone thought it would be a joke that had a underlining serious thought provoking message but it came off being more offensive than anything else.
I think that people in general need to take in consideration the things they do and what they decide to invest their time in. I agree with the main point behind the cartoon, with the message of people doing things and investing in things that can further them as a person instead of living a lazy materialistic lifestyle but I really wish they would have taken a better approach to the topic instead of a profanity filled rap song.
I guess that he felt that this is what black people respond to. They feel rappers are whack if they don’t curse so he through them in there. Also there is a difference between “could you bring some water” and “could u bring me some f*ckin water!”
Real talk NY you buggin. “The overall message is being lost by the vulgar lyrics and the video?”"
What are you talking about? What do you think these kids watch all day everyday on BET? Positive lyrics and appropriate videos for kids? NO!! they watch half naked women in skimpy clothes and men objectifying them…
All they givin you here is a video that appeals to kids anyway and putting a good message with it.
I also didnt like how Terrence and Roxy got all serious after they played this on 106. They looked like they seen a ghost. But if the dude was rappin bout bitches and hoes, then oh…”thats my joint right there”,replies Terrence. Fuckin Clown.
I think the song and video is great and please don’t gimme that “it shows black people and a negitive manner” bull its comedy with an educational subplot if dave chappelle made the song and video yall would of loved it
After seeing that Video i Really do want to Read A Book and Buy Some land.
It Does effect you.
I dont think this video was made to be taken so seriously, I just think that dude was just keepin it real for one, and two I think he was just poking fun at the dumb shit that people sometimes do. I can see why it seems offensive because he is directing this shit to blacks, however he is telling it like it is.
…And what does the video have to do with Black people? White boys dont need to brush they teeth and wear deodorant and take care of they kids? Im just sayin…Black people cant do nothin now-a-days without havin the white mans approval. Get mad..I dont give a fuck.
Its true black folks dont read books and are more interested in cars than house deeds! Im black and most of my friends have not read a book in 20 years! Imagine. Read books, buy land instead of cars you fools and keep the family together cos too many black kids growing up wiv a single parent.
This vid is mostly getting to the urban blacks, the ones that actually do read books. So its not really gonna help. Most of the people in the hood are facing these probs. And you think there wasting time on the net instead of making that money in the street or doing other things.
wow wel it was alot of cussin but yal have no problem wen they sayin all dat negative shit in a song not teaching ya anything the song be a hit, but when its something u need 2 learn from ya assez getin mad. sometime i dnt understand us black folk!
I know the video wasn’t suppose to be taken seriously but it is pointed directly to black people, QuadakiDD and I don’t think that we are looking for approval from white people to say if something is cool or not. There are far more white people on welfare than black people… and everything Dave C. says isn’t funny.
Anyway, there’s plenty of black people who read and do great things, it’s just that the ones who aren’t are the one being made into the posterchild of black people as a whole. And I do agree that this message can apply to all races.
Most black people don’t come from money so we usually dont have land in our possession but as we grow as a people, we are investing in bigger and better things. Black people have made some of the biggest discoveries and inventions. Black people are on the come up and we do read!lol
the video is great as it is!!!!!!!!! If you get irony and implication then you ll get it
It just makes us black people look more stupid
This video is perfect for alot of the ignorant fucks that visit this website.
The ones that post like this
“yo wiz good, im in da hood nigga, u pu33y, fuck you nigga, i love internet beef, i rep teh street t3am, gg-g-g-ggg-unit word son, fuck everyone that likes any rapper my boy 50 cent doesnt likes. word, its 59 cent, g-gg0gg unity”
There are niggas and there are black people, dis nigga is just trying to make fun of niggas, but d truth is niggas rule fuck black people. Holla
^^^^ U sound dumb as fuck….
It’s a good concept but very wrong direction in the sense it still makes black people in the ghetto look like we walk around smelling, breath stinking, and only read the sports section….if he would’ve kept the concept general and to the point it would’ve been more effective but he just sounds like a frustrated man lashing out……and I really feel he didn’t make a valid point at all because like always other races are going to generalize this as all black people and just gives fuel for people like bill o’riley….so two thumbs down!!!!!!!!!!!!
#14 wtf?? lol u serious?!
I was truly saddened and disheartened while going through this video. The depiction of “US” used to convey a positive message, was lost through the vulgarity and mocking of the sender. I agree with you RTNY, in reference to the video being quite harsh. They could’ve taken a more positive platform.
However, we are characterized through our actions. 50 cent for example (who is very intelligent) said it HIMSELF. Nas wasn’t selling because his music was too intelligent for the market. And, HOV’s last LP didn’t sell as much BECAUSE “IT WENT OVER PEOPLE’S HEADS”. This is why 50 makes non-sensical, music of no substance for his fan base. So HE CAN MAKE MONEY FOR HIMSELF. I cant knock his hustle, but, He basically called his target market dumb/ignorant, so why wouldn’t OTHERS feels the same way? It’s just sad how his fan base STILL persists on fighting tooth and nail for him, and idolizing him as a “god” (which is very disturbing) instead of WAKING UP AND SEEING music like that ONLY SENDS NEGATIVITY through OUR actions as people and through how “OTHERS” percieve us. WE ARE BETTER THAN THAT PEOPLE. SMH.
Although the video was done in poor taste, the sender felt that was the only way to grasp our attention, because of the popularity and attention that rappers get for portraying the same messages through their records and videos. Like I said before, our generation of teenagers getting bamboozled and influenced by such artists are lost, unless we take a stance (and it’s not too late). Ignorance is worst than poverty, and to avoid the ignorance/stereotypes of how OTHERS view “US” there needs to be a change in the mainstream market in the kind of music that is distributed through our airwaves and heavy rotation. Music is our BIGGEST influence.
Other than that, I agree with everything JSmooth has stated. And this was a great post RTNY.
I have to begin by saying i am fully aware that this is a spoof or a joke about hip hop and black people.
However, it is done in such a vulgar and offensive manner that the so called ‘message’ is drowned out by the tact less RACIST insults. The fact that this video is made by a black person (im assuming because if the person was white it would be another issue) just adds insult to injury as it shows another black person reinforcing all the NEGATIVE social stereotypes and making it appear true to the less educated individuals who watch.
By shouting to read a book and to wear deorrant etc is so fucking racist i could feel sick! This slave mentality must come to an end. A member of the KKK cpuld not have written a more stereotypical ridiculous image of what is BLACK.
Throughout history we BLACK people have not done anything to any other race e.g slavery, world wars etc. Yet the self hate still continues through useless propoganda like this polluting peoples self image and ethnic worth.
I AM BLACK. I DO INFACT READ. MY FAMILY DOES INFACT OWN LAND IN ENGLAND AND JAMAICA AND NUMEROUS PROPERTIES ELSEWHERE. DEODORANT AND CLEANLINESS IS A STANDARD PROCEDURE TO ME AND ALL BLACK PEOPLE. IF WE DO NOT SHAKE THESE STEREOTYPES AND TAKE OURSELVES SERIOUSLY SOON WE WILL BE DOOMED TO BE TYPE CAST FOREVER AND WE ARE SOOO MUCH BETTER THAN THAT!
DAMM…LIL WAYNE UNDRESS ON STAGE….MUST BE THAT PRESSURE OF BEING CALLED A WHORE BY 50 CENT
#3 pretty much sums up how I feel about it.
#1 = Cosign
Well this video made it’s way to niggermania.com & you should see the racist comments on youtube about this video. I know that satire was part of the point & of the message but this just makes the black race look even dumber and unproductive. There could’ve been a better way to convey a positive message without be offensive. “Brush your teeth N****A” & “wear deodorant” made it seem like the Blacks lack hygiene.
*Being*
14 wtf?? lol u serious?!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
lol,Yeah im dead serious. Look at some of the past threads to see some of the ignorance and posts people put up.
when keeping it real goes wrong…..yet feels sooo right! READ A BOOK, BUY SOME LAND!
@ mimi all 50 was saying is what most successful artists and rappers out already know but are afraid to say, the songs that do well are songs that have simple lyrics to nice beats cause we are in a time where the main consumers of music dont wanna hear meaningful music so 50 and others puts out songs that the consumers are gonna pay attention to in order for the album to sell that doesnt necessarily mean he is calling his fans dumb cause 50 has all kinds of fans and therefore he caters to all his audiences the street stuff that some of his fans will like isnt going to do well on the charts and garner attention so why put those out he put those songs on his album but he just doesnt release them im sure 50 doesnt just have songs like amusement park on his album
i saw this video on tv and i honestly thought it was a joke but i understand what the dude was tryna do yes he could have done better to convey the message but would that have people talkin as much as they are on this video no controversy sells dont blame the artists blame the people who are buying into it
imo, black people are still sufferinfrom tha effects of slavery. believe it or not. ask me why and i’ll xplain
I’d like to hear the person who made the video speak about it. Whenever you consider a video or musical text you always bring a perspective to it.
I’m convinced that if the video was made “for” black people then it is a gross generalization. He has taken a current popular art form, “crunk,” and directed it to the masses as if blacks do not read, wear deodorant, and only invest in rims. Moreover, he has overlooked the industry that markets that art form. Why is “crunk” and 50 Cent commercial and other positive hip-hop ignored? Why not tell them to buy postive hip-hop? Why does the message attack primarily urban, poor blacks? What about schools in places like Los Angeles that have a shortage of books?
The person that made this video should read a book, specifically a book about Market forces in America and their impact on black culture. He’s ignorant in my opinion.
By the way, #9 makes a great point. The author is reaching a specific audience that probably reads often. Many of the people who don’t read do not know what a blog is…..
If this is what it takes to reach us then were lost

#3 said it all. And i agree that Terrance and Rocsi got all “holy” on us after tha video was played…i was thinking it’s not even that serious. They were acting like, no offense, somebody died. I mean that’s the same video that’s play on tha countdowns, just not animated. There is nothing different when you compare this video to tha hip-hop videos that are played on B.E.T. It’s sad that somebody can’t simply tell you to read a book but, it has to be written over a woman’s rear for you to get tha point. This video caught my attention cuz its true!. There is a lot of ignorance and a major lack of educated people in this world…and this video is “scraight” up their alley! By tha way, do any of you all remember Lupe Fiasco’s album booklet for “Food & Liquor”? It had pictures of gangstas holdin books in the form of a gun and little children in class holdin guns in class…same difference!
and if yall think this video was “offensive” or could’ve been conveyed better..there is this video i saw on BET a few days ago. It’s an animated video of a slave auction and it’s supposed to be giving a message..but that video was sort of…no it was painful to watch. I dont know if tha person who did “Read A Book” made this one..but you will prob. see it soon…RealTalkNY yall should post that one up, now that will start up something.
#3 sum’d everything up. LOL that’s exactly what Terrence would say. Atleast “read a muhfuckin book” is telling people to do something productive, whether or not theres a “fuck” in the sentence. What about songs like Money Maker - Ludacris? He’s telling girls to “shake their money makers” and yet it got mad play on BET and everybody was feelin it. It didnt have “fuck” in the middle of the sentence but it was pointless and not productive.
yeah, that video about slaves that was on that BET show the 5ive is mad offensive.
i cosign with #3..
I also gotta ad that i laughed my fucking ass off… that shit was funny as hell…
The mentality of this song is “shock value” when u do something thats not expected… and this is just that… And they do it good too…
im gonna be hummnig read book all fucking day cause of this song…
Wear some deodorant nigga.. I am definitely using that line when some stanky smellin dude is getting on the train on a hot summer day.
I’m off to read a muthafckin book
ARE YOU OFFENDED YET? ARE YOU OFFENDED YET? HUH, NEGROES! IM NOT BECAUSE THE TRUTH NEED TO BE TOLD. I BLEED AND FIGHT FOR MY PEOPLE, BUT I WILL NOT TAKE OFFENSE WHEN THE TRUTH IS BEING CONVEYED. IT DOESNT WHAT MANNER IT IS CONVEYED. THOSE THAT ARE OFFENDED, YA’LL AINT NOTHING BUT BUNCH OF NEGROES CREATED AND NURTURED BY THE SYSTEM. THE REASON WHY IS BECAUSE YA’LL REACT WORST WHEN THE TRUTH IS SAID, BUT WHEN A CRACKA TALKING ABOUT HANGING YOU UP SIDE DOWN WITH A FORK. ALL YA’LL REACTED AND WENT ON WITH YOUR BUSINESS. ITS ABOUT TIME SOMEONE SAYS IT PUBLICLY. WE TRIED TO TEACH THESE NEGROES ABOUT VALUES AND MORALS, BUT THEY COULD CARELESS. FINALLY, SOMEONE IS CALLING IT AS IT IS. . .TO ALL THE NEGROES ARE YOU OFFENDED? ARE YOU? AND IF YOU ARE WHAT ARE YOU GOING DO?. . .LET ME GUESS NOTHING BUT COMPLAIN.
It’s a good video, for those that understand what the underlying message is suppose to be will get the fact that, lot’s of people really don’t read in our communities and if they do, it’s only the latest XXL or King! There’s nothing worng with that but the majority of folk have no clue about what other options they when it comes to acheiving success. Jay-Z said on Reasonable Doubt, “All us Blacks got is Sports and Entertainment” Well we need to change this, and start showing this and other generations that there is more to life than just this. All we wanna be is Rappers, Models,Actors, or Athletes! Why don’t we strive to be the one’s that are the bosses instead of just being the pawns for everybody else! READ A BOOK, READ A BOOK, READ A MUTHAF***IN BOOK!
First of all, I can appreciate this video’s message. I would imagine that the person who made this song has been offended countless times by the lyrics of lesser “artists” (I hate even calling many of today’s 1 hit wonders “artists”, but anyway …) and must have felt the need to address this topic in such a “vulgar” manner … it is meant to shock us as a community into action. Would this song have even registered with people had he not taken this extreme route? Would we be talking about it? Of course not.
As Black people and as a Hip Hop culture (Yes, I know, Hip Hop is no longer the sole possession of Blacks and Latinos, but we all know where it originated and where the majority of the music comes from) we cannot have it both ways. On 1 hand, on sites like this, we gather to post comments and complain about the lack of substance and diversity in current mainstream music yet, some of us cringe when the mirror is held too close to our collective face … now, the blemishes are too real, huh? You think this video makes us look bad? Really? Do you think that this 1 video (which will not be played half as much as “Pop, Lock It, Drop It”) will single handedly be the undoing of our culture in the eyes of the world at large? Sorry to inform you of this, but that cat’s been out the bag … lol. I made a song like this awhile ago and I didn’t release it because I didn’t think that most people would get it … now, I’m not so sure … you might hear it soon … lol.
Some of you are worried about this video creating a visual that negatively depicts ALL BLACK PEOPLE thereby encouraging more people to dislike us and our music, as if ignorance and filth is indigenous to us or, as if, a person who harbors such racist feelings actually needs a music video to bolster and reinforce their position. Hip Hop cannot control their xenophobia. This video is not meant for them They do not like or respect anything that we do … from Condoleezza Rice becoming the Secretary Of State, to Barak Obama being such an “articulate” and accomplished man, to Lil Jon or Lil Kim … they don’t fukk with us anyway yo. It is what it is.
On the other hand, what about Blacks who only applaud and advance negative social patterns as “authentic” Black behavior. If you say too many big words, are you not Black enough? Many of our own publicly condemn those who wish to better themselves and I am not talking about sellouts who do so at the expense of their own race … I am talking about regular, hardworking people who have simply matured and have a little bit of class about themselves. Yeah, what about those of us who actively hold on to this bullshit as a badge of “Keeping It Real”? Being pussy ass apologists doesn’t work yall … sometimes you’ve gotta fight fire with fire. Please don’t bring your peace pipe to this shootout.
Check it, I’m not a saint nor am I some Hip Hop elitist who wants to jump in a time machine shaped like a dirty book bag and transport every facet of our music back to the early 1980’s … I find those niggas to be just as ridiculous. Oh yeah, I use the word “nigga” too … what? However, I can recognize a huge problem when I think of what I was listening to as a teen in direct comparision to what is offered to young adults today. Crime is crime and the hood is the hood, but there is a vast difference between the poetry of true artists like Nas and 2Pac and the music of today. I embrace the grime, I just want people to give kids the real story … the good, the bad and the ugly. This “Read A Book” video just gave yall the “ugly”. This sycophantic behavior that many of you engage in does absoultely nothing for us and the silent acceptance of shit that you privately complain about anyway is precisely why the game is so fukked up now. You can’t be afraid to call a spade a spade homie … this is the truth. The squeaky can does indeed get the oil.

NUMBER 37 SPEAK FOR URSELF BITCH! UR PATHETIC AND A DISGRACE TO UR RACE! IF THIS IS YOUR ”TRUTH” ABOUT BEING BLACK THEN OK!
IT IS NOT MINE FUCKER!YOU SPEAK ABOUT AND WHOSE ”WE” TEACHING ”MORALS” HAH! FUCK U AND UR SLAVE MENTALITY…
GET UR MIND OUT OF THE SYSTEM AND FREE URSELF FROM YOUR OWN TYPE CAST. WE ARE A MANIFESTATION OF OUR MEDIA REPRESENTATIONS AND THIS REPRESENTS THE MINORITY OF BLACK PEOPLES WRONG DOINGS.
THIS IS ABOUT BALCK STEROTYPES I.E YOU BITCH…THATS WHY ITS YOUR TRUTH…READ A BOOOK! READ A BOOOK! YOU IGNORANT PIECE OF SHIT! LOL
^^^^Talk about “slave mentality”…lol. You sound like you just had a hard day at the plantation. Matter fact lets all just boycott every rapper that speaks the truth..Yeah that’ll teach em’ a lesson…fuck outta here.
….And #37 the Negros ARE gonna do something….Their gonna grab their pickett signs and march with Al Sharpton…lol..That’ll tech em’…ha ha ha !!!!
Aight…mabey the plantation thing was too much. My b. But everything else still stands.
…smh…this video is brilliant. Why would someone resort to trying to get this message accross in an intelligent way, when the audience it’s aimed at doesn’t respond to anything intelligent. It took Common to fuck with Kanye before they even accepted him and dude has been spittin positivity. Might as well get the shit crunk, and get straight to the point. Fuck being politically correct. A lot of people just don’t get it, so make ‘em get it.
The only real problem is, the people that this is aimed at won’t look beneath the satirical nature and get the picture. So, the message would NEVER get across. I ain’t feel like reading a lot of these sensitive ass comments, so I’m responding in general.
Like i said before so woteva…it is NOT everyones truth. It only apllies to those who need to be told those things! Not every single black person. You miss understood what i meant by slave mentality, And you should know about plantations right because that should be made a mockery of, WOW thats how educated you are.
to #38
Theres nothing wrong with all us blacks got is sports and entertainment……jewish people mastered law and all the key point they focused on……if we can help uplift people through music and sports like (Michael Jordan, Jay-Z, Marvin Gaye, James Brown,Jim Brown, Magic Johnson, Mohammad Ali, Russell Simmons,Oprah etc…)and not let other people who don’t have any interest in the things our culture thrives at depict what we think, we would be fine….because if we didn’t have sports and entertainment a lot of color barriers wouldn’t be broken, a lot of things we do wouldn’t be accepted in todays society…..
Yes we should read a book, but don’t send the message through rap music, send it through the school system and the lack of books to read!!!!
The More I watch this video the more I see how soo much it is pointless…..I showed the video to a couple of pre teens….and all they did was laugh and state that the video was “Stupid and I don’t care because it isn’t me”….
Honestly I live in Compton Ca and when I look around my neighborhood I can honestly say none of these things in this video will make us become a better, wealther community….I never really read a book at all and I graduated wit my BA….all these things are do for self things that can still leave your ass stuck right in the hood broke, barely getting by, because!!!buying land isn’t really making any money anymore unless you buy inna developing community and drinking water doesn’t put money in your pocket and make you a better person, wearing deoderant nor brushing your teeth won’t get a college degree
…….The only thing that can save poverty stricken black people is going to school….not just reading a book, cause they’re are more classes than just History and English…
I bet you that if this person who made this song is black, he’s most likely an angry, bitter black person, thats stuck in the hood and will be there with the rest of everybody he’s talking about!!!!!!
The bigger picture is:
People who read books are more likely to read stock quotes, real estate trends, watch the evening news, and think critically and independently.
I dont appreciate the vulgarity in the video and no, I no longer watch BET, so I am not “used” to cussing, nor will my children.
Success is personal and relative to the individual.
Define success for yourself!
all the profanity is in there for a reason…the creator is saying that with all the profanity and vulgar lyrics people are going to listen to it more..because thats rap for u now a days…the only way they could get the message across is to put it like that
GB, if u arent the video’s producer, then
u can’t speak intelligently on WHY vulgar words were used. STOP assuming that you know!!!
LOL
I think this video is brilliant!! It’s funny how this video is probably causing more controversy than any Lil’ John and the Eastside Boyze song ever actually garnered (since this audio/visual opus is obviously a parody of their music). “From the window to the Wall … / Till the sweat drop down my balls…/ till all these bitches crawl,” and trash like “wait till you see my dick,”–a lyric in the Ying Yang Twins “Wait (The Wisper Song),” are not usually called into question, but when somone tries to show that theses joints can maintian their same “crunk” feel, yet have a much more positive message, they are looked at like they are crazy. I always ask myslef, “when are these artists going to realize that they can make an equally catchy song, use the same sick producers beats, make a hit, while saying something with meaning. A lot of the crunk joints are basically saying “stomp that nigga”; “nuck if you buck”; “if a nigga spill a drink on me in this mo’fucking club….” What not say “if I see another mo’fucker disrespect another woman imma….” How about istead of “thow yo’ set up and rep yo’ hood and fuck them niggaz from the other side,” cats said shit like “show love to them brothers on the other side of the club,” or “go get money with them”? Mo’fuckers act like you gotta say some dumb, retarted shit on tracks to get some quality airplay; with a lil’ more effort you can say something to get the club crunk, or the party jumping thats more uplifiting. Think about how gangsta it was back in the day when James Brown hit the streets with the anthem “Say it loud!!! / I’m Black and I’m Proud!!”
#39 lol
you a joke you havent said anything on here to make us think u dont a colonial or slave mentality. it says it all the way u convey urself brother. why dont u cry and picket with jesse n al.
agree with the message, but could deal w/o the vulgarity…
Did u see terrance face on 106 and park. . he lookd upset. . he was like u tell us wut u think. . i wonder who will vote that song on the count down. .
i dont kno why everyone is acting all uptight. all he tryin to do is to get through u ghetto muthafuckez.. how else these lil niggaz gonna listen. all they do is watch videos all day. i think it is a good way to get these kids to listen. if u think this is bad the u should hear the rest of the stuff they listen 2. just b ez and enjoy a funny ass video cuz i will.
am I the only one who really loved the song ?
i mean this video is just like any other video you would see on BET , accept this one has a damn message to it.
im glad it has the vuglarity in it , maybe it will hit people just a little bit harder. its effective , real talk .
whoever said that if dave chapelle did a song like this everybody would love it and laugh about it was DEFINITELY right .
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING!!!!!!!!!!! YALL ARE OFFENDED THAT THIS VIDEO IS MAKING BLACK PEOPLE LOOK BAD!? MAN SHUT THE FUCK UP. DO YOU KNOW WHAT MAKES BLACK PEOPLE LOOK BAD? THE USUAL GARBAGE ON MTV AND BET IS WHAT MAKES BLACK PEOPLE LOOK BAD!!! this video was fucking hysterical. if you really take yourself too seriously im sure ull get offended. the video and song were made by a black guy. hes obviously trying to satirize hip hop while sending out a positive message. if you want to know a little about the artists check out his myspace here. dude obviously has the interest of the black community at heart.
http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=68770310
how the hell could any of you be offended at this video or song? are you going to deny the fact that a lot of the youth in the black community are valuing the wrong things and importance is placed on a lot of things that arent helping them get ahead and overcome adversity? if YOU read books and YOU own land, dont be offended….feel like ur glad this song is out there for the youth to hear and reach further than you can. hopefully it will reach some kids and make them realize they should read and not care about spinning rims. who cares if some white people see it? i guarantee you that this isnt going to turn any white people racist who arent already.
Reading books is a GOOD thing. You learn A LOT…It’s also important that children read books because it will make them do well in school.
ok 53…lets play this exactly how it is for a high school…and then play an edited version..you tell me which one there going to like more?
