CNN anchor, attorney, Nancy Grace interviewed fellow
Atlantan, rapper, 2 Chainz. The two had a heated discussion
about the legalization of marijuana in America. Grace is against the
legalization of marijuana, while 2 Chainz is in favor of it. Grace
cited the case of a couple whose toddler died in a fire while they
were high on marijuana and not supervising the child properly. She
also took 2 Chainz to task over his explicit, misogynistic lyrics.
Nancy Grace and 2 Chainz
Rappers do not understand the extent of the
influence they have on impressionable members of the public. I know
a lady whose son got caught up in Tupac and other rapper's "thug
life" music and philosophy and it led him into a life of crime in
trying to live like his favorite rappers. He is now serving 18-years
in prison. Artists need to be careful what they record in their
lyrics and post to social networking. Many impressionable people
trying to live like rappers with flashy cars, mansions and designer
clothes they see in videos and on social networking, are taking
their violent, crime laden lyrics seriously and doing the same.
