  It’s funny what people consider advertising these days. As I was reading an article on a London News site I came across the advertisement pictured above.
  I’m not sure if they are saying “Shoot” the Rapper as in take his picture or “Shoot” the Rapper as in ‘kill him dead.’ However, there is something about this [...]

  06.02.07 | Permalink | 2 Comments

  I have different views on the “N” word. No, I am not referring to the word “Nigga.” I’m speaking of the word “NIGGER.”
