Good NZ Kiwi rap and the artist is the native 'Aborigine' from New Zealand?

The late 80's and very early 90's were the period when music was the best and Crowded House songs were on every station here in the US.  Today's music are basically crap Grin.

Back in the day American rap is about gang, drug and women. Now its about money, women and party. The only rapper I like is Lil Wayne.

There are no real 'ghettos' in NZ. People just refer to South Auckland as such to portray it with the 'rugged' image it deserves.

The natives in NZ are 'Maori' not Aboriginies. Again, you're confused with Australia.

I agree! Todays music is shitt.

Been there done that. I used to live in the gheto, suburb, Laos. Gheto in American. In Laos we called them middle class. These low income people get subsidy for housing, food, school and medicaid. In Laos if you're poor you got nothing.

You just try live based on what you have around you and nothing fancy.  For me it was mainly playing basketball at the school basketball court.  I grew up with black friends and they taught me alot how to play the game of basketball Wink.

What's the crime rate for ghettos? Is it high?

Where I grew up, the crime rate is the highest in the country. There are just some places you can't go to when the sun sets. Undecided

Same as the US. I live about 25 minute from Minneapolis, but some called it murdereapolis because crimes rates and murder is the highest in minnesota. About 35-50 people get murder a year there. The city where I live right now they have about 1 murder every 3 or 4 year if I remember.
Cool
