No, not just music video, this is how many behave or act over here. Some use this ghetto gangster excuse also to cause violence amongst others. The crazy thing, you may know the phrase "nice guys finish last". Well it's true, many girls from rich or nice homes flock over many of these losers all the time. When you hear news of death or cause of death it's mostly for this reason "girl dies because of jealousy involved". What is it like in NZ? Any of these pricks exist over there?
You sound scorned, Jack.
These 'pricks' are over here too. And we have them in adundance! There are American copycat gangs everywhere. The Bloods, Crips, Hells Angels, Highway 69 etc. They sag their pants low enough to easily spy the residue of last nights dinner, in between the crevasse of their buttocks. If you know what I mean.
Their 'swagger' consists of robot-like mechanical movements: their shoulders - one after the other - move with the fluidity of a skier taking a stroll. Then there's also that sombre frown they walk around with! Very unapproachable. Most people do grow out of that futile lifestyle. However, the guys in that video look mid 20s/early 30s.
That lifestyle never appealed to you, Jack?
Nope, currently over here even in their early or late 20-30s they still haven't grown out of it. I don't know where LAO LXE gets "few act like that" maybe in his hometown of Minnesota. I've been to Minnesota in the past...It's not known for gang life. As for California or New York on the other hand is well known for hip hop, hip hop fashion or gangs which has a huge influence around the world. I've lived in California nearly my entire life and I have seen changes over the years, I know. I've been to Lao gangster parties, and I've witnessed it all. The only reason I went was because of the word "party" involved. I couldn't resist.
Their way of life never appealed to me, I just think it's a waste especially when they don't grow out of it.
