Nah, you got it wrong. I said he's what's wrong with hip-hop. If I were really being blind, I'd say something stupid like "he's not hip-hop." I think he makes terrible music and is a boring, uncreative, uninspired rapper. People can enjoy him, I won't take that away from them. But I believe he's truly awful.

If you really care about the problems in Chicago, you'd pity him, not direct anger at him. Direct that at the institutions and systems which have taken a kid and made him into something most of us find abhorrent. The blame lies there, not at the feet of someone who had no choice in the matter. He was a minor up until this year, meaning he really had no control over where he lived.

I pity his circumstances and that instead of rising above them, he has decided to glorify them. Supporting his music is a way of saying that you support what he does and what he raps about, as well as the gangs that have molded him into who he is.

I know people like Chief Keef. I covered courts for two years and saw many people like him. Just yesterday, we had a jury trial where a guy killed another drug dealer in cold blood. He got a recommended sentence of 105 years and publicly said he'd be out in three or four and chalked the whole sentence up to 'his haters.' He expressed no remorse. I feel sorry that he's so numb-skulled and devoid of emotion that he can't see killing someone as something serious. I really do. But fuck that guy. His surroundings certainly made him that way, but if you can't take that seriously - I don't even know.

nah... also you mixed several of my statements into one.

How can I take anything you say at face value when you literally had the lack of judgement to criticize I Don't Like? You can't argue about a song that is objectively and intrinsically a masterpiece.

You clearly have never heard this song and are just going off what some deaf kid told you or something because it's perfect.

A fellow classmate of mine is an intern for the Cook County Clerk's office and is doing some work on his case. She said that he is an absolute trashpail of a person. This dude gives Chicago a bad name.

A masterpiece? A masterpiece?

I guess cocaine really is a hell of a drug.
