good topic man,

When i was younger my favorite movies were, boyz in tha hood, menace to society, bout it bout it etc...  but now i have grown up alot i still watch them but not with the same eyes as when i was 15.  i also dont enjoy Gangsta rap as much.  i still like cube nwa dre, but am more into r & b and soul and funk.

Don Seer:

imo anything in the media attracts the mentally unstable..

there have been varied cases in the past of people doing things for the attention.. from streakers to murderers..

First thing that popped into my head when you said that was, remember the motherfucker who shot Reagan?  He did it to impress Jodie Foster. 

Eihtball:
I will admit that people who like violent entertainment EXCLUSIVELY are probably a bit unstable.  I've seen kids before who only listen to violent music (gangsta rap, anarchist punk, thrash metal, hardcore reggae, etc.) and play lots of violent video games (GTA, Counter-Strike, etc.), and if anything related to love or something else is brought to them, they'll push it aside.  You know how you sometimes hear kids who say stuff like, "This rap album is too R&B" or "it's not hardcore enoiugh"?  Those kinda kids strike me as being violence-prone types.  It's one thing to like violent entertainment, but you have to take it in doses - I can't listen to gangsta shit all day straight.  Basically, I think the amount of violence you take in on a daily basis does reflect your tendencies towards violent behavior.

So remember, kids: Next time you complain about how Snoop Dogg or 50 Cent is "too R&B", think about what you're revealing about yourself when you say that.
