Moment with Boy

So I was home last night and after dinner I finished cleaning up the kitchen and came out and Boy was watching one of his MTV2 shows. I am sure you have seen it or heard of it "Cribs". He recently discovered it and I always grumble until he turns it.

So he says "Why do you hate that show, these people hit it big, good for them" and I think about it for a minute and this is my explanation.

I hate it because most of these people "hit it big" not because of intellect, work ethic, brilliance, skills (I don't consider rapping a skill) or any other honorable trait, they "hit it big" because they lucked out and someone liked their bullchit rap song about Ho's, beating women, doing drugs, getting drunk, shooting cops, fake outrage over perceived injustice. Then they get money and act like asses flaunting their opulence and acting stupid.

He replies :shrug: and says; But isn't it good they used their talent to get out of the ghetto and make their lives better because they had nothing?

I looked up at the screen and the "Rap star" has the camera in his custom built closet that houses 2,000 pairs of sneakers. I said: "See that? This guy probably raps about how horrible life is in his hood, how it sucked to be poor, how they had no way to succeed, dead end, no escape...right? So now he glorifies everything that will never get anyone ahead in life and he has a closet so full of high dollar shoes he could never wear all of them. How many kids could he have helped with the money he put into shoes and a closet to hold them? If he REALLY gave a crap about the stuff he sings about one might think he could get by with only 50 pairs of sneakers and use the money to help out those back in da hood. He could sell one of his 23 cars and do something to make his hood a better place.

It made him think because I got the "Damn I hate it when he makes a point" look.

I wonder if he will watch Cribs tonight.

Boy is right and you are wrong.

There's a lot more to being some dumb rap star than just getting lucky. To make it big enough to have major bling involves a lot of work and a grueling schedule. If you don't think Puffy Combs works his ass off, I don't know what to tell you.

I'll say it again: if people are going to be stupid, someone should be able to make money off of it. And pampered suburban white kids who buy ghetto rap are stupid, so why shouldn't Snoop or whoever make a buck or two and get him a closet full of tennis shoes?

As far as helping the kids in the 'hood, many of them do just that. And then there are the ones who realize it would just be wasted money.

I own one pair of sneakers.

If I ever make $100 Million, on a rap song, rock song, polka song, or win it all in a lottery, I will continue to own a single pair of sneakers.


Until I die, another shoe shall never scourge my feet with their worthlessness. This is all I'll ever wear:

Kewl! Much better than those Saved by the Bell ones you used to have. :yay:

I own over 30 Barbies and they do nothing but sit in a case and look pretty. Such a decadent beech I am. My life in the 'hood was so horrible, we were poor and there was no way out of the misery. But look at me now! I have over 30 Barbies - something I only dreamed of as a child.

And you surround yourself with haughty Barbie-like women so you can be their 'Skipper'... one thing I don't get... Larry has no resemblence to 'Ken'. :eyebrow:

in most cases you'd be wrong.

There are those that have gone out and worked hard, and built recording studios, and made corporations that employ hundreds if not thousands of people.

Most just wallow in their fame and act like total morons. Every now and then they screw up and we get a glimpse of who they really are.

I have NEVER owned a single, solitary Barbie. This is why I'm the way that I am.
