Hip Hop music. Love it and hate it sometimes. Seriously. This shit needs to grow up in a lot of ways.

On one hand it signifies the expression of youth culture in a myriad of forms: Clothing, Dance, Clothing, Art forms

You sigh as you hear them crunch beneath your feet. Still, toenails and all you love them. (more…)
