Rooga on Making the Biggest GD Song of All Time, What He Would Do if His Son Claimed GD (Part 10)

Watch Full Interview: • Rooga on Rico Recklezz...
Part 9: • Rooga & Vlad Go Back &...
--------
In this clip, Rooga reacted to Chicago Councilman Ray Lopez's proposed law that would fine parents of rowdy teens up to $5,000. He expressed that oftentimes, disruptive behavior from children isn’t a result of poor parenting but rather individual choices influenced by societal pressure. Rooga emphasized that even with proper upbringing and guidance, some kids may choose the wrong path. The artist underscored the importance of personal growth and development, and upbringing isn't always the determining factor in a child's behavior. He added that he would try to deter his son from engaging in notorious activities, including becoming a gang member. Rooga also discussed his "GD Anthem," which he sees as promoting growth and development rather than violence. In addition, he stated that he wouldn't allow his son to listen to it.

[@paradiseplayer5103]

From experience, I’ve seen that just having good parents isn’t always enough. I know people with great parents, successful, caring people, but their kids just CANT stay out of trouble. Then I have friends who were raised with no parents and were completely off the chain. Then they completely turned their life around and became something productive to society. I think it’s more often a combination of things.

[@LexParker-z1p]

Once 2 people who have kids break up, they typically look to start a new life, the " new life" the kids become part of thier "old life" The kid might become 3rd or most important thing if that, At that point there's essentially a countdown until the kid is 18, the man dont want to pay child support and the woman need the kids out the house to increase her chances of getting a man, during that time period they're talking to new people making promises and accepting offers, when those conversations are had is the 13yo son or daughter an actual focus? ...it is really deep whether people want to admit or not

[@paradiseplayer5103]

@@LexParker-z1pReally good point right there and I also think that’s one of the reasons people search for acceptance and purpose outside of the home. For example, they join gangs because they don’t feel as though they’re part of the home structure. A lot of this stuff is really cause and effect and it’s sad because the child is always the innocent.

[@maryjones794]

Facts. But with loving parents at home chances are that's not going to happen. And if you don't it's highly likely you're going to be in trouble. Bad kids with good parents is an extreme exception.

[@snotboogie2505]

Nah those would just be exceptions

[@Ngfkash]

I’m not gon disagree wit y’all comments but u got gangs in every city and hood so when kids go to school they’re gonna try be like they homies/ friends and do what they do so the house sht not the reason nomore like u said it’s people who doing bad in life who really tryna change

I agree wit Rooga on this one cuz thia is def the 2nd time vlad tested his fatherhood and both times i was like damn vlad trying it lol....but i will say this tho i dont necessarily feel like vlad had malicious intent behind it

[@offthat9081]

Vlads not wrong…lol all his music is about murder, now you don’t wanna speak on the violence in your city, all your music is about GD this and that and “MY SHORTY 14 BUT HE WILL BLICK YOU DOWN” but you don’t want your kid involved in that or even listening to it, it’s a fair question to ask. If your a GD or gang affiliated but you keep that out of your house and you don’t want your son to be involved that’s cool. But your biggest song ever is the “GD ANTHEM” but it’s not fair to ask what if your son wants to be like you?

[@Rondondemarco]

​​@@offthat9081exactly 💯 he was defensive that Vlad could detect his potential hypocrisy if he kept towing that particular line.

[@growngrownman5950]

Rooga is 100000000000000000% correct about you can have a good upbringing and still choose to do wrong. I've personally seen it as well. Every soul has autonomy and some souls especially youth get an adrenaline rush when they participate in anything that is taboo. I even had a good upbringing and come from a two-parent home and was choosing to be bad as a pre-teen but when I became a teenager I chose to straighten up and stay out of trouble. Most times from what I have seen our peers tend to be more influential than our parents. Because we what to fit in with our peers and being bad is looked at as being cool while being on the straight and narrow is looked at as corny and being a square. Rooga is SPOT ON!

[@snotboogie2505]

Nah alot of yall that say this are missing the point real bad. Nobody on earth would tell you that a 2 parent home with parents that are constantly instilling good values in their kids and are good role models will ONE HUNDRED PERCENT of the time result in amazing teenagers/adults. There are exceptions, just because exceptions exist doesnt mean that one scenario isnt better. Vice versa for example A single mom thats hoeing/stripping and leaves their kids to fend for themselves, those kids can possibly still be great but the odds are not in their favor. One scenario leads to better results, one doesnt. Dont act like it doesnt matter and that everything is just luck and coincidence

[@AbkRawdude]

You didn't really choose, the older you got the more scarier and timid you became. You were scared to get suspended, you got picked up from school by your mom 😂

Rooga is wrong. Statistically speaking the kids doing the absolute worst have absent parents, more specifically fathers. The community has to be honest about this if they wanna make any progress

[@edgenesis]

It was sad to hear him say there is nothing we can do about it if a law is passed…I remember feeling voiceless as well & never even voted because I had that limited way of thinking. We actually can affect the outcome of any policies, & once upon a time civil rights had to be fought for & anyone who said “this is just the way it is” or “what can I do” were the ones on the sidelines when real change was being fought for & changed.

[@abusednomoresilence]

Your voice definitely matters! I believe that we must get more involved because the democrats have lost their mind collective. The political party doesn't give a darn about the citizens of Chicago. Brandon Johnson has to go.. Because he has no background. I am not for this sanctuary city nonsense. If immigrants are criminals, allow ICE to pick them up from the jail cell. Rhe money being spent is outrageous. Together, we can all do it. Change the reputation of Chicago.
