  • Bitties, on 12/15/2008, -0/+77ha you beat me to it!

    "Rap is very popular in Senegal, especially among young people", unlike here in the United States where rap is popular among the elderly.
  • deadasdisco, on 12/14/2008, -11/+87how do you live 70 years and not learn that words are just that, words. and that shooting someone for "making fun" of you is not the correct way to resolve the issue.
  • Snoosy, on 12/15/2008, -0/+74They don't know what the jazz.....IS ALL ABOUT.
  • Khast, on 12/15/2008, -2/+75You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you.........

  • gaqua, on 12/15/2008, -0/+51Writing is very popular in Senegal, especially among writers.

  • realunderdog, on 12/15/2008, -0/+49...and we liked it goddamnit.
  • MeatPlow, on 12/15/2008, -0/+48So...listening to hip hop music does lead to violence?
  • bpoteat, on 12/15/2008, -0/+48In his defense, they were making fun of him.
  • dehydratedbaby, on 12/15/2008, -4/+52You see, Jazz is like a Jello Pudding pop — no! Actually, it's more like Kodak film — no! Actually, jazz is like the new Coke; it'll be around forever! Heh heh heh...
  • JasonAdams13, on 12/15/2008, -0/+46In their defense, he WAS an angry old man...
  • SkippyDoorknob, on 12/15/2008, -0/+44Remind me to stay off his lawn
  • jwcorder, on 12/15/2008, -0/+41Keeping it real.

  • AFelsinger, on 12/14/2008, -10/+42such a weird story!

    i guess he's in his 70's, not 70. pardon my mistake!
  • Narcism, on 12/15/2008, -1/+28And for the last time, get off my lawn.
  • 55mph, on 12/15/2008, -3/+30the old guy sounds like he's angry to me.

    poignant.
  • thebuggalo, on 12/15/2008, -0/+26Zip Zop Zoobity Bop!
  • RustyJ, on 12/15/2008, -0/+25boondocks did it
  • PoopOnPaul, on 12/15/2008, -1/+26Guess he was angry.
  • JYoungest1, on 12/15/2008, -1/+26Who writes this *****?
  • SuperTonic, on 12/15/2008, -3/+27It was a clever response. That's how.
  • mikesbaker, on 12/15/2008, -0/+23this is the use of words to convey something other than their original intent? now if the rap song was about a nice relaxed old man that would be pretty ***** ironic.
  • toshiro7, on 12/15/2008, -0/+22More importantly, what's a 70-year-old with a HUNTING RIFLE doing at a rap concert??

    http://africa.reuters.com/wire/news/usnLF722478.ht ...
  • LostOnion, on 12/15/2008, -6/+28And this is different than most hip-hop concerts?
  • harronoob, on 12/15/2008, -0/+21ODB
  • seanovan, on 12/15/2008, -1/+20Well at least the rappers now have some street cred.
  • inactive, on 12/15/2008, -0/+19And it was uphill both ways!
  • justblaze2319, on 12/15/2008, -1/+20http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uy4g4Rx8h8A
  • lostsymphonies1, on 12/15/2008, -1/+20pretty sure the best way to prove youre not an angry old man is to not shoot the people singing it because you think they are talking about you
  • Padijun, on 12/15/2008, -2/+19http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-fulfilling_proph ...
  • inactive, on 12/15/2008, -3/+20http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9teLeXZ3XMU
  • jwcorder, on 12/15/2008, -0/+17I guess it just took him 70 years to get fed up with all the youngins. Trust me, I have seen a few hip-hop stars I wanted to shoot and I am only 28.
  • omoshiroi, on 12/15/2008, -1/+18With their hippin' and their hoppin'. They just don't understand what jazz is all about.
  • ApokalypseNow, on 12/15/2008, -0/+16Most people who open fire at hip-hop concerts don't actually hit what they're "aiming" at - and given the propensity for people at such concerts to hold their guns sideways, I use the word "aiming" in the loosest possible sense.

    They put the sights on top for a reason.
  • Lunarbunny, on 12/15/2008, -1/+17Dementia, I'm sure.
  • inactive, on 12/15/2008, -0/+16http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uy4g4Rx8h8A
  • stevensj2, on 12/15/2008, -1/+16More so than rain on your wedding day?
  • inactive, on 12/15/2008, -0/+14This was an episode of the Boondocks.
