#1 aaah the beauty of rap culture rearing its ugly head .

I do have a question which I have asked a number of my esteemed rap/hiphop loving friends . Why ohh why do the majority of kids who listen to this crap actually put on a limp when they walk !? Is it a prerequiste for some initiation into some kind of club ? hehe this one has me more perplexed than the paloe/israel issues :P

#2 The limp is for street cred. The slouching walk with pants hanging low simulates carrying a handgun in the cargo pocket (which would weight pants down). The latter isn't just an affectation - if people aren't sure whether or not you're carrying, they are less likely to mess with you.

#7 The pants hung low used to be an open invitation for a quicky in the prison system, I find it funny how these young people don't have a clue, and think it is cool.

#9 This crap has happened several times before at other crap/hip-schlock awards ceremonies. Too much fake testosterone, chest-thumping and egos for one venue to handle i guess. I really despise the hip-hop culture in general, the music's boring and the message is lame. Boils down to a bunch of self-congratulatory ignorant braggarts with big mouths and bad taste in fashion. 90% of which don't even know how to play an instrument.

#10 Judging from video clips, it looked like Snoop and Quincy Jones were on the dais during the fisticuffs. Didn't those two even bother to say anything right then and there about what was transpiring right in front of their faces?

#13 I can only think of one thing when I hear the phrase "Vibe Awards": Neck Massage.

Think about it.
