:::shakes head::: some of the things im hearing from you guys are ridiculous. By a show of hands, How many of you are part of the hip hop community? hmm im going to take a guess. 2? maybe 3? Ive been there, its actually a pretty nice place. And far as you're hip-hop terminology goes no one has really refered hip-hop as "gangster rap" since N.W.A was out in the early 90's, so please spare me. When people in the hip-hop community hear someone refer hip hop as "gangster rap" we picture middle aged white guys on fox news telling parents to not let their children listen to hip-hop...wait excuse me "gangster Rap" so give me a break.By the looks of it, most of you dont know anything about hip-hop; you are just using information the conservatives on all these news channels to make your opinion for you. Its so funny to always hear people talking negative about hip-hop like they are apart of it.... its so sad to see all the negative attention hip-hop brings to the mainstream, but when some wants to do something positive, people have a pre-concieved notion that its going to fail, or bring violence to the community. What do i say? Go there, check it out, and then make your comments. until then, shutup.
and for what its worth, im not some white kid in the suburbs
Im actually a DJ - who is hispanic.

Yeah, it was kind of humorous to learn I was a "hatter". Spelling and grammar are not among the strong suits of hip-hop/gangsta rap lovers.
It's no surprise our black youth are failing miserably in virtually every area of academic achievement. This supposed "honor student" is a poster child of that failure.

Wow, a bit judgmental are we? I listen to rap too, I guess I am failing in academic achievement too? I wonder.....

You are a textbook example of the element that supports hip-hop/gangsta rap and worships the "artists" who create such garbage.
Please stop filling your head with the vacuous ignorance that flows from hip-hop/gangsta rap, and, instead, try to improve your horrid writing, spelling, punctuation and communication skills.
We all make spelling errors from time to time. Your post, however, is littered with poor spelling, incorrect word usages, incredibly bad grammar and horrific punctuation mistakes.
You failed to even correctly spell the name you chose for yourself. You're an embarrassment to yourself and to our people.

Well, I like the concept and it seems like it will be a family friendly place with lots of things to do (and a healthy menu to boot).
But, and I'm risking getting blasted for this, even if they play all clean rap/hip hop music it still has the chance of attracting a bad element that would try and screw up a perfectly good place for youth to go. I hope that never happens of course, but the news doesn't lie. Anything can and will happen, especially if something might attract low life thugs in all their violent ways...
