@bobsal u1553115,
Some of them did. Have you not seen all the white kids who think they live in the ghetto? Make their wanna be "gangs" and act all tough? There are quite a few kids who emulated inner city and rap culture. There is nothing wrong with this, I am a huge fan of rap and hip hop music. I just never got corn rows and wore saggy pants. When I lived in San Diego, there were white kids who copied the Hispanic kids in their dress and the way they acted. Beige shorts, tall white sock, white tank top tucked in...
Although I will say, for me, the mid-90's rap culture removed the veil of negative connotations of pot. I think it was people like Snoop Dog, Dre, and Cypress Hill who helped my age of people change their minds and paved the way in pop culture for the turn around we have seen on pot. On a good warm day, you will hear Dre pumping from my car as my grey ass head is bouncing to the music and I'm in full rap mode.
