Please find me a happy go lucky music genre that does not degrade women, talk about violence and sex.

The dude is a fucking idiot, he has no sense of national politics and is so cynical he can't see any positive changes in the country as anything but a second rate hand out. I find that attitude hilarious since his entire career is founded on exporting the most dangerous aspects of black culture as some kind of romanticized private club of sex, violence, and drugs that no one else can be part of. DMX exports this right into the ears of wealthy bored white youth. Thanks DMX; you helped give us white gangbangers. Probably one of the most annoying fads ever. DMX is proud to not follow politics, thinks we're in the biblical end times, and has cultivated himself as a symbol of what a successful black man should look and act like. Gah, it's frustrating when something like this follows on the heels of Obama's speech. It's hard to put it in the right words, but being such a high profile figure in entertainment DMX is, sadly, a role model and a representation of a cultural group. And the dude is a hypocrite. He cynically lays Obama's successes at the feet of white racism, saying that white folks think shit is so bad its time to dump it on the black folks. However, while he blames everything on racism, his manipulation of "Thug" helps to perpetuate stereotypes. I don't give a fuck that the dude is an idiot, I don't care if he blows off politics, but the man makes his living on selling a negative image, then blames the image that he sells for making shit so bad. Fuck DMX and the rap music he rode in on. You know, I read of the links posted and got the full breadth of the DMX interview.
