Played a lot of GTA IV ... doing hits for the mob, etc.

Once I completed the game, used to get on the elevated railway and snipe the mob guys or the Japanese gang members. If you were careful you could pick off a couple hundred before they found a way to kill you.

... and yes, I used the unlimited ammo cheat :skullflag:

Theft, out-of-control gangs, murder, drugs, prostitution, extortion, mayhem, and a general disregard for life, property or moral values. You want it? You got it! Better hurry before they are all sold out.
Who needs the video game, when you got real life live! This was a shocker!
Warning there is a violent crash towards the end, after the black Mercedes passes the left lane driver on the left(est speed 100+mph), the camera pans out, then a VERY violent crash. Shocked the poop outta me, watching it live(well almost).
If you are not disturbed by these things on some level, there is something wrong with you.

The victim in the hit car was ejected, the police were able to get to the victim and get them out of there. No word on the victims condition at this point.
Video games are one thing, real life is another.

So you blame rap music, which you listen to, and video games, which you play, for why "kids of the world are so effed up"...
I assume you are excluding yourself from the group you refer to as "effed up", so what makes you so different from the kids of the world?

Just trying to understand your statement.

No, I did all this in the 90s.....when i was a kid...Go listen to what they call rap nowadays and tell me how it compares to stuff from the 90s..All i was getting at is everyone wants to be a Thug and live the high life like these loser rappers

Does art imitate life, or life imitate art?
Where as in video games, you can get up and walk away from the game, real life, has different rules.
Unfortunately, the victim who was ejected from the car, was NOT transported to the hospital(not a good sign).
The shots the officers retrieved from, as they approached the suspects car after the accident, was a self inflected injury.
REAL LIFE FOLKS! YA GET NO RE-TAKE OR DO OVER! THINK ABOUT IT!

What are the primary topics of the vast majority of RAP songs?

Drugs, violence, sex, (primarily the abuse and disrespect of women.)

I can't imagine why people would think that is a bad influence....

It causes one to have "lack of love" for not only himself, but others as well.
It desensitizes one, to the brutality of violence, also celebrated as being "the norm".
It then blurs the lines, between what is real and what is fantasy.

We have instructions to beware and be aware, of the things we perceive.
If one has proper perceptions to start with, they will be able to better "draw the lines" clearly, so to say.
Without proper perceptions and/or a moral compass, well.......
we have the world we have today.
