This will give you a sense of how I feel this nation is headed now that we have the "Homeland Security Act" along with the "Patriot Bill" Benjamin Franklin said, "Those that give up freedoms for security for will soon have neither." I am sure that the government is not only watching rappers but anyone that feel may not be doing what is "best" for this country. It is not the job of the government to teach morality. That is taught at homes and churches. Not everyone has the same values and morals, so a few white men can't dictate them for a diverse country. Just my two cents.
I agree. Its funny how life has been imitating art lately.

As far as the rappers, of course the government has been watching them, think Tupac back in the day, its just that now with everyone still playing the all foreigners are the enemy game, its easier to pass laws to legalize invading people's privacy. I am sorry but no amount of drugs or guns that any rapper black or other is going to be big enough for the gubmint,lol, to pay this much attention to. You have to ask yourself whats the real reason that they are watching them. Anybody can be a criminal but why segregrate a group of people and make it the law of the land to keep close tabs on them??? IMHO, something serious is going on and we are all in the dark...
