this is something to be accepted. Recently in a Complex Magazine video blog, the magazine did a survey on how they felt about Thug’s recent attire. One person, in particular, was not a fan of this little number – Rapper Fat Joe stated, “I know I would never wear a dress.” But surprisingly, the Hip Hop millennial artist was highly supportive. Rapper A$AP Ferg gave credit to Thugs revolutionary style calling it “glam rock, hip hop, gangsta”, while “Panda” rapper Desiigner called the piece,“art”. So whose to say it wasn’t so much controversial but just flat out bold and daring? And what about Kanye West - the so-called “Leader of the High Fashion Hip Hop World”? He’s even been called the infamous homophobic “f” word by fellow rap Artist 50 Cent criticizing his fashion forward style. Kanye was also recently criticized for wearing a Celine women’s blouse to the 2011 Coachella event. * Sigh* and the list goes…
Rich or Die Tryin '" the movie. "Get Rich or Die Tryin '" has been the subject of my essays over the past two weeks. This week I am reviewing the film and making a distinction of the intended audience of the movie. On the surface, it would appear that the movie is attempting to reach the masses with a very entertaining story, packed with drama and action.

benefit from the racially structured fundamentals that is America. Yes, even 16 year old naive me. How though? I’ve even muttered a racially intended slur in my life!

It’s “white” until proven otherwise. It’s “white or it’s the “other”, and it has nothing to do with actual numbers, percentages of “minority” population.” It has…

the U.S should quit producing it because over time if the pennies were not minted anymore, there should be no negative price effect, in addition, the production cost is too high.
