Re: USCHO Music Thread: We All Have A Crush On Shirley Manson
Living that way, in that time and place, in the business, wasn't "thug," it was how you got by. Like Biggie and the triple beam, it was what you needed to do not to be ground under. At some level I agree with you, f-ck those guys for what they helped do to their brothers. At another level, that's our economy. Nobody will help you so it's either knife or be knifed. Having been comfortable my whole life I am not fit to judge either way, but I do know every uptight conservative American fortune was made exactly the same way.
My opinion, FWIW:
Dre is the classic businessman; he's Wozniak in the sheets and Gates in the streets -- The Archetypal American; today's Tom Sawyer, mean, mean pride. Cube was the fixer who could complete the play. Easy was the doomed charismatic of every age; he might as well have been Rimbaud -- I love how surprised he sounds that he's actually good at this! OC was the tragic hero as it turned out (though he did it to himself so no tears). Yella and Ren belonged on the East Coast; they were just were born in the wrong place.
