Sean Combs hoodneck soul claims its payoff

Combs was there to shoot his music-video show "106 & Park". After filming ended the prince of hip hop realized he had lost his ring while spreading bundles of fake banknotes for his video.
The music producer literally hijacked the studio, shut the building down and searched an entire crowd of 160 looking for his lost ring.
Butch was a Pulp Fiction's character, a runaway punch-drunk boxer who goes back to his apartment just to get his grand father's watch risking a showdown with low-rent hit men looking for him. Tarantino is a real genius when it´s about human being's weakness analysis. Butch's watch. Illiterate untutored men often project their affection towards material objects. Those objects become symbols by very subjective meaning. This is the sign of a hardened emptyness. Illeteracy cannot bring values into life. If in your childhood there is no love, no guidance, no tutorship on affection and love, no real values can eventually occur in other than a very materialistic attitude as a survival instinct.This way you leave your soul without cares. Indeed if you look at Combs, it's very hard to see him smiling. A sad story and a very bad example for the new generations. The problem has a wider spectrum though. Hip hop world has never brought up any significant value for youngsters. The only value brought up in hip hop videos and songs is money, money, money. Be rich or die trying. Burglar, steal, kill. No spiritual or cultural evolution. That's why this Comb's psychotic episode demonstrates that getting out of the hood does not mean you will become a better educated person. In a larger scale this is one of the main problem in American pop culture: the lack of spirituality at all levels. That's why the spiritual side of the human being gets projected and confined to a diamond ring. And if you loose it you loose yourself too. So you go look for yourself into the crowd's pockets.Foolish
