I feel bad for it, but I love this song...lol. It's one of those songs where you just laugh at it with your friends everytime you hear it but also can't stop loving b/c the beat just bangs. It is definitely a twisted message, however, but really is this anything new? Young Jeezy's My Hood? Trick Daddy's I'ma Thug? Still at the same time Its crazy how shameless Joc seems to be if you think on it...but in the grand scheme of things I don't think this effects kids more than many other songs which are more overt to the point/topic...tobacco advertisements towards children have been directed to those who have never been users but the promotions were informational enough for them to find an association with cigarettes or w/e the product may be...this however a kid is not going to know of unlesss they are alraedy knowledgeable of drugs.
On another note, as I watch this video...is it supposed 2 be ironic that this appears on some minstrelsy sambo **** (?) is one of the questions that it brings to mind. Is this a problem that contributes to our stereotypes in society or just a fun parody like video (?) is another one. Tens of years from now are we going to look back and watch this video and see this video and other ones that have/will have been madelike it and look at it like we have the black entertainers of the minstrelsy period? Should I feel like a bad person for asking myself these questions yet still loving this song? I don't know.
