Yeah, but Freddy is a child-killer who returns as a near omnipotent Lich/dream demon. He is not above casual racism.

uh…Ringo?

My point is that has always been part of his repertoire, not something that got added later as he got more and more famous.

Tupac's first big hit was "I Get Around"…

1. If your are trying to suggest that straight sampling is obscure in modern hip hop you are completely wrong. If its less common now its because of the legal/financial aspects, not because it fell out of favor. If anything The Bomb Squads production is BECAUSE of the legal aspect.

1) The first major hip-hop song that most people ever heard was "Rapper's Delight", which is an almost unmodified version of Chic's "Good Times". Straight sampling, without chopping or obscuring samples, has been part of hip-hop since the beginging

I dunno- like in Dark Knight, do you wanted to piss off a billionaire who spends most of his time dressed up as a bat who beats up people who he perceives as criminals?

Gotta disagree about being happy someone is in jail for 20 years because they were mean to you as a kid.

I've been told many a time by white "friends" that they were "blacker" than me because they could dance better. It cuts both ways.

There might have been white dudes in charge of the Buffalos but there is no way in hell there where blacks serving in Teddy Roosevelt's force, even after an…

No mention of Kool Moe Dee? This song is basically half Stevie Wonder's "I Wish"/half Kool Moe Dee's "Wild Wild West" which is why it kinda makes sense as a tie-in to a western-themed movie.

Is it even possible to be both a rough rider and a buffalo soldier?

…And yet the far superior X-Men rip-off, Alphas, is left to languish.

I think he was the only main actor with anything resembling a personality in the flick.

Easy sold drugs in his past sure, but by the time NWA was over he was totally a businessman. People forget about Bone Thugs but for a little while they where doing their version of Wu-Tang (multiple solo albums, dubious "family" album releases, etc,) and they where in his pocket.

Tupac being the son/nephew of Black Panther members probably altered his life more than anything away from typical street life.

I'd sat the Bride was pretty well developed.
