Rappers make me sick!!!!!

[Corky Thatcher]

Although, I really can't think of a single country in the world that is successful that is governed and run by blacks. Jamaica maybe?

There aren't any.

With the exception of some parts in South Africa, most of sub-Saharan Africa is so poor and lacking in basic infrastructure, that it's not even considered to be part of the developing Third World. It's officially known as the Fourth World.

cant vouch for the accuracy of the stats but check this out....


"The race begins. Who will be the first to earn that next $700 million? Will it be Sean Combs with his fashion, record label, music publishing, music production, restaurants, marketing, and talent management empire? Or, will Percy Miller's fashion, sports management, film, record label, music publishing, retail, and real estate empire catapult him to the top ranks? Both entrepreneurs are reportedly worth approximately $300 million, according to Fortune Magazine.
Amazingly, Percy Miller (pka Master P) who first made the list in 1999, topping Michael Jordan's estimated net worth of $358 million with a jaw dropping fortune of $361 million, made number 20 on the list a second time in 2001, with an estimated net worth of $250 million, and a third time this year, cha-chinging in at number 11 with an estimated net worth of $294 million. Sean (P Diddy) Combs made his debut to this elite club last year at number 22, reportedly worth approximately $231 million. Who in the Bronx nearly 30 years ago could have imagined that, in 2002, three hip-hop artists (Will Smith also made this year's list with a net worth of $113 million) would be on the list of the Forty Richest Americans Under forty?"

This thread could have just as easily been about rock stars, actors or actresses. But I guess not, since VH-1 didn't do a special on them Thursday night.

If you all are that easily shocked, perhaps you should watch Oscar/Emmy nights when the celebs line up to parade their designer clothes and expensive jewels.

Oh, and I think bragging about how much your champagne costs probably gets you in less trouble than bragging on how much you spend on drugs. (How many Hollywood and hard rock types die of ODs anyway?)

All I see in these rap video's are rich ghetto motherfuckers throwing cash around, pouring crystal on the ground, and flossing their $200,000 rides.

champagne = apple juice. The cars and estates are rented for the shoots.

Watch many Hollywood films? Same thing, 'cept they're longer and the music is different (sometimes).

Not all rappers are dumb.....P.Diddy is an extremely intelligent man. Look at what he has created and what he's worth....$$$. But I do agree that rappers are dumb f'ing you know what.

Anyone else think 50 Cent juiced? I do.

what must suck for black people is that the most successful black people are entertainers. Most every other race and nationality measures its successes as their doctors, economists and scientists. The movie bamboozled had alot of truth to it, the most successful blacks and the stereotype of a successful black person is a negative stereotypes who exist to entertain bored white people. The truly successful blacks (the MDs, the judges, the politicians) are labeled oreos and ignored. Must suck.
