His Choice of weapons

"Harris' music is built around the drug culture and is known as "trap musik," the name of Harris' second album. A "trap" is Southern slang for a drug house.

 

Court documents in the case show Harris was convicted on felony drug charges in Cobb County, Georgia, in 1998 and sentenced to seven years' probation.

 

"Harris has additional arrests and at least one probation violation for unlawfully possessing firearms," according to an affidavit.

 

Harris soon will appear in the movie "American Gangster," starring Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe. The film is set to open November 2."

Real role model for all the young kids out there, boy do i feel bad for this guy... Wait no i dont. How can one actually support this waste of life. Its absolutely sickening to see people say they're his #1 fan. Find someone else to look up to. Someone who helps others, not some arrogant rapper who thinks its "gangsta" to have a bunch of loaded guns all over the place. Give me a break.

Corporate America makes me sick.

Only in this country do they produce famous millionaires out of felons and uncivilized, ignorant insolents. Take Oj Simpon.. They were going to pay this murderer to write a book, for christs sake.

We spread this virus accross the oceans and into other continents and we wonder why were on the world's shit-list?

Some deep reconsideration and rethinking needs to be made by the fat, white, wealthy chodes who run these corporations that produce these millionaire "rappers".

Capitalism at its best.. Way to go.

i heard on either cnn or a local news site that one of the defenses ti's legal defense will use is that he wasn't the only one living in the house, and because of that, he's not liable for everything that is in the house...knowing the system, he has mad $$$ so more than likely he won't see more than a night or two in prison.

hmm hows that defense doin for Mike Vick? Constructive possession is still possession...

The beauty of capitalism is the freedom of choice. Because some choose irrationally, people are able to make a profit. Name a better economic system so beautifully accounts for ones greed, waste, and ignorance and turn it to an empire where anything is possible.

There is no such thing as social mobilization in those other systems as they attempt to eliminate what is human. It is no wonder why the fail, when they try to remove the truth of humanity.

Although I dislike his music and think he makes poor choices, but your disdain over is success is pedantic at best. I am glad to be a part of a nation where ignorant people can't make millions off the backs of college educated yuppies wanting to associate with something to which they don't understand.

Oh come on... THis guy is a product of this country's doing who is corrupting and brainwashing our youth. Ignorant people in this country like him make millions of dollars everyday off of the backs of corrupt and greedy SOBs who are at the top..

And as a socialist and libertarian, I believe that economic regulation are necessary in order to reduce corruption, negligence, and a slew of other problems I attribute to free markets.

I believe that capitalism should be heavily regulated rather than abolished. I also support a mixed economy in order to ensure adequate labor standards and relations, as well as economic justice.

Problems I see with capitalism are seemingly unfair and inefficient distribution of wealth and power, a tendency toward market monopoly or oligopoly (and government by oligarchy), imperialism, various forms of economic exploitation, and shit such as social alienation, inequality, unemployment, and economic instability.

Capitalism also requires economic growth and will inevitably deplete the finite natural resources of the earth, and other resources utilized broadly.

The use of a labor force comprised of slaves, indentured servants, criminal convicts, political prisoners and/or other coerced persons is also compatible with capitalist relations.... One man gets millions and billions.... at the expense of thousands of laborers getting payed shit. Makes sense right?

To each their own.

Yes it does make sense. I am glad you recognize that what makes capitalism effecient is its exploitation of labor....But consider the alternatives. I have yet to see a sustainable libertarian / socialist program on a large scale. It doesn't work because of curruption.

Capitalism, on the other hand, does not reject corruption, but embraces it. Since people are naturally corrupt, ignorant, etc...why push against it...why not embrace it and use that what comes naturally to people. Anyone with a nickel's worth of knowledge knows unemployment is critical to capitalism works as a filter to depress wages.

How can you simultaneously be libertarian and socialist? I am may not be familiar with all the variations, but libertarian echews government controls and regulations whereas socialism embraces it. Again, my knowledge of political economy is limited, and therefore it could be one of those issues where theory is not practiced.

It is obviously true these stars are the success of misguided individuals. But does that make it wrong? Absolutely not!

I work quite dilligently in school, am pursuing advance degrees for essentially one purpose. I want to buy more shit. It's quite simple.

Because I want to buy more shit, I work hard (for the government) to add value to the American economy...why? So I can buy more shit.

If I was in an economic system where greed, power, amassing great wealth was not only discouraged, but frowned upon...why would I do any of these things? Why would I not be homeless, a beggar, or do just enough to survive.

Because Americans (and I think others, too a lesser degree) do not have this incentive to acquire more things, they lag...And only recently have they began to catch up with us in terms of technological advances, economic thought, financial transparency and engineering. It is because they have began to adopt these ideals of how to work with greed.

Here is an anology....Pretend you are on a boat and the wind is blowing. The wind is blowing the opposite direction you want to go. Your method requires one to fight the wind. My method simple says...perhaps you can adjust the sails, or change direction. Why fight the wind.

But somehow, under this libertarian/socialist hybrid, you are going to accomplish the following

1) Ensure people do not squander resources and spend their money wisely.

2) Eliminate social mobility based on the demands of the public.

Rappers rap about what they know, and most of them know Street Life, Drugs, Hookers, and Guns. Hell, half of them cannot even rap, they just happen to have a HOMEBOY, or neighborhood thug friend who knew someone and got it done.

Look at our government(Senators), they commit crimes as well, and do things that they shouldn't but we dont hear about everyone of them in the news. Oh no, that would make the USA look bad, but, a black rapper who is known for whatever, and raps about the things he has done or does is GOING to get caught and be plastered all over the news. People look foward to that stuff. Snoop is always rapping about SMOKIN, and look at him, He's a smoker. has been busted MANY,MANY times for it and will in the future.

Listen to Chamillionaires song HIP-HOP Police, he is pretty much right on the money. If one will listen to the lyrics of a rap, you can figure out what that person is about.

Back in the days when 2 live crew was around , all they rapped about was pu__y, a55, and polotics, and that was what they were known for, they wasnt getting arrested for guns, drugs, or none of that other BS.

Look at Eminem, he aint with all the BS in rap music, he has gotten out of the album making business pretty much and focusing on t=other stuff, as he has a family to care for and knows, someone like TI will shoot his a55 with his ILLEGAL guns.

One profession, where you pretty much are what you say.

Except for JaRule, He's still a PU__Y!
