Personally, I'd join you and enjoy the trip down memory lane. Of course, I'd bring a stack of CD's to broaden your horizons in thrash metal, and try to convince you to take a walk on the dark side with a little brutal death, goregrind, and the like. Far be it from me to call you the bad guy at that point, the neighbors, that's another story...outlawbiker said:
As far as life imitating art, it is not confined to just rap. That is a problem with ignorant or blatantly stupid people being incapable of looking at reality. It is not a fault of rap solely, but all media and an underdeveloped or deficient brain. A prime example was what was thrown about regarding Harris and Klebold being influenced by violent movies, video games, and music (specifically Marilyn Manson, KMFDM, and Rammstein) when they went on their mental breakdown and rampage at Columbine High School.
Yes, it is completely backwards. Instead of finding a way to deal with these issues before they start, our society would rather ignore any possible issue, and when it finally happens, find a scapegoat to lay the blame on.
