No matter if he makes it in rap or not it's still wise to get an education. How many rappers stories (and musician's at that) have you heard were they lose all their money because they don't no how to manage it? Case in point is Mike Jones who used to live a few floors above my parents in their condo. Nice guy, but couldn't manage his money and is starting to have serious financial trouble.

He's 17 and still in school, so he IS getting his education...and who's to say that he won't go to college, you just never know. I think you are being a little too judgmental on him for two reasons; his race, and his choice in music style. Maybe you don't like his race, maybe you don't like rap, maybe you don't like either...I don't know, but you are stereo-typing him without even knowing a thing about him.

I posted this because the kid has got major talent and skills, and I wanted others to check him out...that's it. Why did you have to turn it into a racist/education thing?

And I hate to break it to you, but rap is the #1 genre of music right now, as well as the highest paying genre of music. If this kid decides to pursue a career in music, that's his choice, his decision, his right...not yours.

And if you look at all the rappers, there have been very few who have made bad financial decisions, the rest are multi-millionaires, with interests in everything you can think of...performing, producing, writing, clothing, jewelry, shoes, miscellaneous apparel, restaurants, sports teams, racing teams, and much more.

Now, unless you have something to say strictly about his talent, positive or negative, please don't reply.

First this is a public forum so don't tell me when and where to post. You don't have that authority so get over it.

Second you need to recheck the charts and album sales become country music is the #1 seller across the board.

Third you make a lot of assumptions about me and why I view something a certain way with nothing to back it up. Your whole thing of trying to pigeon hole someone as racist is lame and with no backing. I have plenty of black friends that don't like or listen to rap.

Last I don't listen to one genre/style of music. I have everything from blues to classical, jazz to metal, rap to country, and anywhere in between in my collection.

Edit: Here is a list of the top selling albums of all times, not much rap to speak of.
