I read his response and this nigga talking about how respecting a broken system and coming together to ensure this doesn't happen again. How are we going to ensure against a corrupted police force and legal system that backs them? Kinda disappointed in that. Why not, when I'm pres this shit won't happen?

This is OUTSTANDING. The point about rappers rapping about NBA players instead of real issues....PRICELESS. They need to stand up for the people who support them not make songs with the same concepts all of your life. Try evolving or showing some artistic growth u owe that to us. One can only be famous for so long anyway so why try to hold onto it so much that you ignore the issues. 50 cent or jim jones can come to chicago and want get off the train talking that madness about Alicia Keys. I lost the little respect for u 2 for dragging Alicia Keyes under the bus. YES!! This is OUTSTANDING. The point about rappers rapping about NBA players instead of real issues….PRICELESS.

When you think about it you shouldn't be surprised for real I'm gonna go back to Jena 6 where was these multi millionairers when the young brothers were getting sent down ? Ice Cube, Mos Def,Common ?,UGK, Talib Kweli where their where the fuck was everybody else ? Now ask yourself this Papoose,Red Cafe,Nas spoke/made a song on it what about the other rappers ? They are scared of losing their white fans thats the truth 2 years ago that happened and less than a handful spoke on the incident ? Now its fresh after the pigs go off surprise surprise we have The Game speaking on it ? Oh Please...... And people really expect Jay-Z to speak on it ? To be fair though Sean Bell wife was modelling Rocawear but I feel you can't just look at Jay-Z you have to look at any major rapper wether mainstream or not the time hass come where is enough is enough and we are no longer gonna stand for it.
