He probably could have used the stitches, given his injured state.

Cop should have used him as a urinal.

Am I the only one who thinks the killers name was Fuh-Q or something similar?

You make it sound like keeping it gangsta was something to admire.

Because as is typical for you, your bigoted disdain for any athlete or entertainer who isn't lily-white or thoroughly assimilated into your view of what white culture should be causes you to look and "find" something that isn't there at all. Those without such a tainted view didn't see that at all from my post. I (and many others) thought it was a little humorous and a fitting end, given the persona that he chose to create. Only someone with a tainted mindset like yours would take that from my post. *shurg*

And it's pretty sad that when I posted this, the first thought that popped into my mind was "Buc will surely post something stupid in response to this. I should take him off my ignore list temporarily to see what foolishness he posts." I wasn't exactly sure what it would be, but he did deliver.

You don't have a very effective ignore list.

I was neither kidding nor exaggerating. I didn't think about it before I posted, but later this morning I thought about the potential responses and it occurred to me that on a Saturday its unlikely that anyone would have pointed out the response to me--as would surely have happened on a weekday--so I took Bucc and one other person off my ignore list an hour or two after I posted it.

No one should have or pretend to have that much hatred in their heart and mind, esp. when dying, regardless if the persona of a gangsta or white trash redneck or wall street wolf or daddy warbucks or neo-nazi. Are these something we should applaud and have others emulate or do we simply view these as detached actors with no negative influence?

It's sad that a person I used to respect a long time ago would think that providing alternate viewpoints/opinions would automatically be stupid.
Last word on this losing battle. Where I am coming from is this, as Paul wrote to the church in Ephesus: "Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them." Something I have been working on and teaching others to do, despite what the world wants you to do or glorify. Last edited by Buccaneer : 05-24-2014 at 10:54 AM. |

Pretty sure if Eminem were in the same situation, Bucc would feel the same way

Lol. Considering the possible range of responses well after posting is "trolling." That's rich.

Wow, overreaction much Ben?
I was unaware of the war between you and Bucc, but I'm really struggling to find out what was so bad about what he wrote. I mean, above Bucc we have a guy who says the cop should have used Tupoc for a urinal and you are ripping on Bucc for saying we shouldn't look up to that sort of behavior? That we should watch what we say and try to be positive? Sorry, this isn't a black/white thing with me, this just shows how sad his beliefs and the life he led was. (note: I didn't say he shouldn't have the right to his belief, I personally just find it sad) I'm sorry man, I just don't get it. |

I always found it interesting just how much of a persona it was. You have a number of other rappers who did grow up under the gangsta code they advocated, meanwhile the most prominent advocate was a kid who went to MSA.

Was Ice T ever taken seriously as a "gangsta" rapper*? Somehow I found myself watching Breakin' 2:Electric Boogaloo today and that should have prevented his career from ever happening.
*as in was his fan base actually strong in the black community, or was he just big among white kids who liked to blast 6 'N the Mornin'? Last edited by stevew : 05-24-2014 at 05:27 PM. |

So an epithet-spewing, scripture-spouting bigot rapper?

I think Bens point is that Bucc automatically assumes that Ben admires Tupac for what he did. I think. |

Maybe that's it. I didnt know the Bucc v Ben history so I was a little shocked at the response there. Though I thought the "heh" in the title made it pretty clear that it was more of an "isn't that cute" post than a "hell ya that's how ya do it" I certainly dont disagree with the statement though that black, white, asian or hispanic that "gangsta" and the "coffin before cuffs" mentality is not something to aspire to for any of our youth. |

And I also feel like the "stop snitchin'" mentality has significantly waned since Tupac's time or even in the past few years. edit: it was also kind of funny to think of it in that light because in the original article (I think it was in a Las Vegas daily/weekly paper) the police officer said something to the effect of "I didn't want to publicize what he said because I didn't want to make him more of a martyr for his views, but now he's already a martyr so I might as well" because those kind of views would be lionized less now than they would have even 3 years ago.

OK, if that's it, then I can understand it a little better. Was just a little flabbergasted by the entire thing. I figured the thread should have flabbergasted in it at least a couple of times. . . |

I think I kinda read the o.p. as being sort of a Ron Simmons "Damn" sort of thing.

And the national murder rate is about half what it was when 2pac and company were hard at work making millions and trying to teach urban youth that murder was awesome. I understand ben's reaction to bucc's' assumption that Ben was admiring this guy and this culture, but the specific response was kind of weird - that bucc only likes "lily white" entertainers and athletes and not the black/gangsta ones. Cause blacks have to be gangstas apparently? I must of read it wrong. And I was in the front of the line here in believing that calling Richard Sherman a thug was racist - but 2pac, unlike sherman, actually was a criminal, and actually did glorify violence (and was a homophobe).. It's a shame he's still so revered, but I wouldn't accuse ben of doing the revering in this context. Last edited by molson : 05-25-2014 at 07:00 AM. |

Sure, Tupac glorified murder, drugs, and the thug life...but hey, at least he wasn't gay!
