I agree with you Renae but I'm wondering if the suspicion is going to be legitimate (taped conversations, signed afidavits, etc) or is the suspicion going to be based, either solely or heavily, on their lyrics.

And, just to be annoying, how far are they going to go with this? I mean if they find that MC Wack is involved in illegal activity, are they gonna come after people who purchased his music and charge them as an accessory?

Soror, I'm totally with you on that point. I realize that crooks have many faces, occupations, and sources. That's the sad thing about it. It's going to be really hard if the suspicions are not legitimate. Now as far as how far they'll be willing to go, that'll depend on other factors...I GUESS. It's like this (and this is just my personal opinion). The top-of-the-line, big-wig, corporate, (9 times out of 10) WHITE crooks are getting really pissed that these young, thuggish, smart-talking N*ggas (excuse the word) are able to "hang" (live in the mansions, drive the luxury cars, dine at the finest restaurants, invest in the stock market, "retire" as millionaires, etc.) like they can. Who's right? NEITHER one. This just goes to show that "when you lie down with dogs, you'll probably get up with fleas" AND it also shows that in the wide world of crooks, "you can't sh*t, the sh*tter or fool the fooler". Get what I'm saying?

The fact that the government is considering doing this is no surprise to me at all. As a matter of fact, I'm actually surprised that they haven't been doing this ALREADY. And, like I said before, it's not fair that there may be some rappers...because we're specifically talking about them right now...are able get over like this while hard-working, honest, educated people (like you and I) are going about things the LEGITIMATE way and STILL STRUGGLING.

I hope that no one thinks that I'm hating on rappers. Really, I'm not. It's just that my SPIRIT...and COMMON SENSE...tells me that something ain't KOSHER about a few of their...let's say...BUSINESS VENTURES.
