Disgusting

Rating: Null/10 (13 July 2005)

This is just brilliant, we'll take a person who is part of the lower dredges of society who sells flesh for a living and make him seem like a hero. Does anyone else see the sick irony of this?? Oh, he's a pimp, but he's really a good guy deep down inside. Give me a break! Why should we glorify the lifestyle of a pimp? A lifestyle that leads to other terrible afflictions on society, drug abuse, abuse against women, and adultery. Have we really stooped so low that a story of a PIMP- a man who whores women out- becoming a rap star is supposed to be uplifting and a feel good story?? This is the same as the movies about serial killers that attempt to make the audience feel sympathy for the cold blooded killers on the screen. I can just hear the arguments now, 'well if you just understood where these people came from you would know how they fall into these terrible lifestyles.' I don't buy it, if he is so passionate about making music why didn't he from the beginning? I'll tell you why, pimping was an easier way to make money and a quick fix is always the road many people take when faced with hardship. Pimps and gangsters are just artists waiting to bloom? I guess all of the hard working people in school and at their jobs are just not interesting enough. I'm glad that kids get the message that pimps and gangsters have such cool lives and that no matter what if you just follow your heart you can redeem yourself blah blah blah. This crap makes me want to puke.
