THE HOOD SCHOLAR

The world is fu*ked up. It's like I'm starting not to like the future. The hip-hop masses' personality, style, and overall level of attention deficit disorder is dictated and influenced by media. A long time ago, the fans of music had real people to model themselves after.
We had:

Frank Sinatra
"Alcohol is the enemy, but the bible says, 'Love your enemies'"

Johnny Cash
"Success is having to worry about every damn thing in the world, except money"

Miles Davis
"If somebody told me I only had an hour to live, I'd spend it choking a white man. I'd do it nice and slow"

Mohammed Ali
"It's just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I beat people up.

These are the options we had. Real swagger, before when clothes didn't make the man.

But now, we have:

Kanye West
"Gays really be knowing how to dress .. cause if people see you lookin' at 'em ... so I look at the quick then I gotta look away." - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W83hVi8jBNg

Little Wayne
"I kiss my daddy."

The effects on my hip-hop demographic, alone, has been devastating. We have men wearing women's jeans. We have women wearing men's jeans.

You have entertainers, admittedly, dressing like homosexuals (as seen in the link above), which starts to synthesize my favorite music genre (hip-hop) with homosexuality. So now, the dudes, dress and act, less 'man' like. The women notice this change, subconsciously. Hmmm. It may be a coincidence that women seems to be more bi-curious lately; or maybe because a lot the 'fly' dudes all dress like homosexuals.

I am telling you sh*t is ugly out here. You have people fighting against gay marriage. Why? Not because they are homophobic, but because once the state condones homosexuality. They become obligated to create "pro-tolerance" sex-ed programs in schools - to reduce hate crimes in the state (due to the increase in homosexual voter presence in that state) - which teach children, at a young age, that homosexuality is okay. Don't heterosexuals have rights nowadays?

I don't have an issue with the homosexuality; what people do in their private time is their business. I just see the entire country is becoming demoralized and blinded to this transformation. Perceptions and the mind have become hypermutable to the repetitious whims and desires of those who decide they want to impose their debased "auto-tuned" ideologies on the rest of society.

Why am I so livid?

I got turned down at a bar filled with beautiful women and cheap drinks for not wearing skinny jeans!

WTF.
