<<I have read some sociological studies of gangsta culture, the one that comes to mind has to do with whether or not crime pays. Being a lieutenant for a crack gang pays less, by the hour, than working at McDonald's. >> The stories I've heard. I didn't understand what was going on. Guys dealing cocaine might turn $8,000 in a night and still have to borrow for breakfast. A few have Beemers but most are broker than Chernobile. Why?.... It's cool. Like living in a flop house is cool. Score a little crack... get some poontang. Stay high. We be getting on and dissin' the man... They don't understand the "man" is doing really nice. It's a difference of opinion.

But what I find truly incomprensible are the middle-class people who want to adopt gangsta clothing, paraphernalia, and demeanor.<edit> Maybe our own Kid Rock can explain it to me. Personally, I do not adopt any gangsta clothing or demeanor. No comment on paraphernalia.
