It is not actually Iceland, the country that is going broke but Icelandic Banks, don't know where you got your info from. @ Savanaha, the standard of living in Iceland is actually very good.

You guys should let this rest. Lets wait till 2015 and see if its true or not.

Indians suck big time!!!!!!!!!!!!!

His got mad talents,

African Queen is prolly the only good video he has ever made. Dont get me wrong, his songs are good but he deserves waaaaay better videos than he has at the mo,

He seriously needs to step up his game because the other new cats are doing some really good vids,

Dude anyone can spit. I am more inclined to the so called 'Conscious Rappers' like Common who have got some really good knowledge to pass. Which makes it hard for me to reconcile with peeps like weezy because of their sex, drugs, gangbangin themed lyrics.

@ samboribo
What was your question??

Thank you Ebele for your views .
You may express an opinion without recourse to insults. It isn't personal, it's just a discussion thread. Calling others dumb merely because you don't agree with them says a lot about the kind of person you are.

Big deal.

I bet the guy is soo proud of himself now

@ NeoBlack
damn that a bit harsh,

We need nothing short of revolution to change our tidings. We are currently stuck in a vicious cycle of corruption and poor governance. A complete 'system' overhaul is whats needed.

Its quite a shame that up until now we still cant boast of a steady supply of electricity.

Late night show comedians are taking the piss out of that so called 'Joe, the plumber'

@ lucabrasi and Ellyptica

Cant you see how pointless this arguement is?? Neither of you is willing to give way so leave it at that.

Last we heard she was dating Swizz Beats.

Honestly Thor, do you see that happening soon. We dont live in an ideal world.

@ Gucci Babe, so because you like Bey, do not confuse criticism with hate ( i think its a biiiiiiig problem here)I should not criticizeBey just cause you like her? WTF. This discourse was meant to point out some facts and some people on here are accusing me of hating. Even if i do i got a right not to like someone or dont I anymore?

To insinuate that hip-hip contributes to violence in the African /African Americans communities more so than any other community or ethnic group is to perpetuate the stereotype that African/African Americans are more easily influenced by external stimuli than others. To ask this question is also to disregard the fact that other ethnic groups have dealt with violence in music and it's potential to negatively influence the youth. People should instead examine the individuals who commit violent acts and their personal predisposition to violence. We should instead consider the music as document of the violence that is destroying urban communities all over America not the cause of it.

Music does not cause or contribute to violence, but is a reaction to it. Music cannot create an emotion that is not already present but only enhance what is there. A person who is prone to violence maybe riled by a particular song, but the desire to commit violence was already there from the beginning. Consider the Columbine case, various musical acts were targeted as influences for inciting the killers to act, Marilyn Manson being one of the most prominent. The boys would have acted the same in the absence of the music, because their motivation for killing was a result of their internal response to their environment, not the music.

To say that anyone is incited to violence by a song or a certain type of music is to assert that they are an unstable person who is incapable of making sound decisions. Unstable people are capable of all manner of acts with out the slightest provocation, so music could make an unstable person commit a violent act. Stable, responsible people who are able to process their emotions properly and know right from wrong are able to listen to any song and appreciate it as a work or art or fiction. To lay blame for any crime on a work of art is to take remove responsibility from the offender and make it easier to stifle free speech.

This statement is also lumping the broad field of hip-hop into on category when in fact there are many positive hip-hop artists in the industry. So one could ask the opposite question. Does listening to positive songs make people commit positive acts? Does not listening to violent music keep violent offenders from committing crimes?

Hip-hop does not contribute to violence in the African / African-American community. Hip-hop, like other forms of music, is a testament to the violence, a verbal history of the violence. A violence which would continue whether the music is there or not.

@ Poster

Dunno what planet you are on but being insultive / abusive is not limited to any particular group of people,

Thers no way to tell shes lesbian / bisexual/ straight till you get solid proof. Stop guessing people.

Someone needs to get Ushers Lawyers on P Squares asses.

Absolutely great movie,

It is in the middle belt. It not considered but rather erronously confused as a northern state.

What you say is true but it doesnt really mean that every Nigerian here fall in that same boat. For as many Nigerians here struggling, there are equally others who doing extremely well.

Is it wrong to say I love them both?

Hate Dr Who!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How can you love something you can predict how its going to end right from the beginning??

That cactus guy from the Oasis advert makes me cringe.
