see... I know I talked about some things that only concern me and some of them I might even be capable to change, but most things concern all of us and most things arent changeable. I know that I dont have the worst life and shit, and that's what makes the world so damn negative, get it? My post wasnt intended to say how bad my life is, ppl who got it that way got it wrong... it was intended to describe how negative this whole fuckin globe is. you rather complete my theory wit your post instead of backin up Luke's without even knowing it.

but the thing is there are very few things that are negative in life that you can't change....like obviously you can't change the fact that there is war....but look at the war this way...we're over there helping out other people so that we can make their lives a little bit more positive (GOD I WANT TO BELIEVE THAT). the fact is for every negative thing about life i could think of 100 positive things to cancel it out.

1. I want to believe that too, but I cant. Making yourself more naive than your isnt the best solution I can think of.
2. I cant think of more positive things.
--- End quote ---
what i meant by i want to believe that is i'd like to believe thats the reason we went there in the first place and its not...but if you look at it that is the outcome...saddam is out of power...therefore we have helped make some peoples lives a little better.
the reason you can't think of more positive things is because you have your mind dead set on thinking life is nothing but negativity...and its not...open it up a bit and i bet you'll find life is a lot more positive than you think...for instance...in 2 weeks i lost my girl, my job, and i had to go to the doctor tons of times for health problems...of course i was thinking negatively...but then it all turned out good in the end...i got a new job, health shit went away...im over the girl...and i feel great...the fact is everything turns out ok at some point.

It was posted on the board a while back, it was pretty embarassing. Bill O'Reilly had a school teacher on, and they were specifically asking Cam about lyrics, and he just came off as a total dumbass. EVEN Dame Dash was coming down on O'reilly's side because Cam was just saying STUPID shit.

I mean what I cant understand is how an artist like dr dre can be STILL talking about the same shit he was talking about a decade ago and NOT GROW. The guy is damn near 40 years old, I would feel stupid as hell if i was him. After a while I just get fed up with these gangsta tales, I find it childish.
Then there is the influence this music has on society, which i will not get into too much because i feel like the listener has a resposibility of NOT BEING STUPID. but then the person making the music should be aware of the effects he will have with every word he says, well OF COURSE, a musician does not want you go out and kill people or do drugs and get in trouble or whatever, but he has to know his power. and a lot of rappers are ignorant to this.
I have been a defender of hip hop my whole life, i have always loved it and defended it like it was my family but now i have come to the realization that just about 90% of rap is negative and has negative effects. after reading a interview between cam'ron dame dash and bill o reilly, there really was no way to defend cam.

I totally agree with the evaluation of Dre, too, it's getting to the point it's embarassing. At least the young guys have an excuse, they can say they're ignorant. Dre should know better.

DRE did try to change, but his album flopped...remember "The Aftermath" Remember "Been There, Done That"??? It didnt sell at all.....
