LOL. My point exactly. But even in general, if a guy has a bad character, he's gonna have one in a suit or in a throwback, it makes no difference. What's next?

It's really hurting our image by being associated with your million dollar thugs, unless you make them speak like Bryant Gumbel, we're gonna have to sever ties with your league."

Hip Hop is not music, Hip Hop is a culture. It is best summed up by KRS-ONE, who said "Rap is something you do, Hip Hop is something you live"
