@@jujumama If you're going to attempt to insult me, learn the difference between "your," "you're ( you are, but shortened)." In Chicago, you can get killed by listening to the wrong rapper, especially IF they're part of a particular gang. There has been PLENTY of murders of those who were in the background of the music video. I've witnessed a young black man, that had to be in his late teens early 20s, who was getting the snot beat out of him, because he was listening to a rapper from the rival gang. So, before you THINK that you can step up to me, know the facts.
