Another one down...

A rapper getting shot is about as unique as a rock-n-roller dying of a drug overdose.  In this case, I kind of respected the guy for what he and Run-DMC had accomplished musically.

I'm waiting for Kid Rock to end up in rehab or on a slab wearing a toe-tag.

Ozzie Osborne - the best anti-drug message on television today.

See how wrong your stero-type paint brush is Prawn?  If he was 60, then he'd have grown up during the 1960's

 Ummm ... you're off a decade. Dad's 60 ... he grew up in the 40's and 50's ... graduated in `60. Back when most high school grads were pretty much grown up. Course ... nowadays ... how long DOES it take?

sry but you couldn't be more wrong about RUN D.M.C......

that kind of actually offends Jason Mizel's (Jam master J) memory.
they were anti-gangster and that whole image.

they also actually used musicians and instruments in their songs long ago.

they never cussed on their records...

never put women down...

never got into the "coast fued" crap..

they are about the only rap group i ever liked really.

1st rap w/gold
1st rap w/platinum
1st rap nominated for grammy

they are truly old school... i was into them back in 7th-8th grade in '84-'85

they kind of fell off the map after russel simmons (brother of RUN) formed DEF JAM records and took rap POP.

Run DMC was no gangsta rappers. They made quality hip - hop.

MrOrange said it -

why don't you tell us? He seemed important enough to you for you to start a thread about him. What set him apart from others who have died today?

And the answer is: Not much, except that I remember Run DMC from the 1980s...

Oh well, just another gun death in America. But they must be allowed to keep their guns, as not everyone uses their guns for killing people. A full 1% of gun owners likes to shoot at paper targets or kill innocent animals, and we must preserve that right. It would be too difficult to identify that 1%, so we'll do nothing about it and just let the other 99% go on killing people. Besides, the government needs the NRA money.

With all the recent gun threads, I sat up and watched "Boyz n The Hood" again last night. Funnily enough, it starts out with a murder. And then comes the caption that says one in every 21 black males will be murdered.  Just think how many lives could be saved if all these black males could be given elocution lessons and taught to speak like Sir Alec Guinness.

Let the revolution begin! Power to the people!!!!!  

Right Pongo?

[Maniac]

NOOOOOO! please dont turn this into an gun vs anti gun debate......

Please delete your post..

[GRUNHERZ]

So you are saying 99% of all USA gun owners are out there killing people?

[Eagler]

just another glaring example of:

you can take the boy out of the hood, but you can't take the hood out of the boy

see many examples of this in pro basketball

[midnight Target]

This has to be a troll.

But it's sooooo tastey looking.

must resist!!!



nah.

[Sandman]

Oh yeah... it smells...

That faint smell of "bigot" may just catch a big one though.
