Gun vs. Fist: The Debate Continues
I bring to the table a question that has been posed for centuries, an eternal conundrum that speaks to the very heart of our times and culture: what’s cooler; just having a machine gun, or punching someone in the face?
On the one hand, rapper T.I. was arrested right before he was to present at the BET Awards for the illegal possession of “several firearms,” and for attempting to negotiate the purchase of some machine guns. I guess T.I.’s enemies are coming in flocks nowadays. And for the record, “several” means nine, many of which were loaded, and one of which was in T.I.’s car between the driver’s seat and the center console. I know I’m always losing shit down there.
On the other hand, hip-hoppist P. Diddy has gotten in legal trouble three times in the last two weeks for punching people in the face, or having people punched in the face (in one incident, Diddy’s bodyguards did the actual punching). Once, he even “bloodied the man’s nose,” so this isn’t any kind of pantywaist slap fight we’re talking about, this is an honest-to-goodness throwdown.
But the question remains: while both of these men are undeniably cool and should be emulated by children, which is the coolest? T.I. for having the guns, or P. Diddy for not having guns but getting into violent confrontations anyway? And, let’s be honest, he’s probably also got some guns.
I leave it to you to decide, but here are some things to take into account when weighing this important decision:
T.I. Cool Points: Sold crack as a youth, and is already a convicted felon.
T. I. Uncool Points: Was turned in by his own bodyguard, who was trying to buy guns on his behalf from an undercover ATF agent; has won two Grammy Awards.
P. Diddy Cool Points: Got in no less than two fistfights over a woman, unleashed his bodyguards on someone like they were German Shepherds.
P. Diddy Neutral Points, depending on your outlook: Has at some point had his penis inside of Jennifer Lopez.
P. Diddy Uncool Points:Voluntarily changed his name to P. Diddy.
The debate rages on!

I don’t blame T.I. for hoarding so many firearms. He’s gotta be on guard for that frightening T.I.P.

T.I. had his bodyguard trying to buy guns and Diddy had his bodyguards beat people… I think that means they’re BOTH kinda lame.
I miss Biggie.

We all miss Biggie.

Can’t miss him if he’s not dead, gentlemen. He, Tupac and Shannon Hoon are all playing Scrabble in my apartment as we speak.

I feel I must fill in for Navigator:
I don’t like you or your opinions, and etc.

Dammit! I thought I slipped one under the radar.

Thye both are lame, and yeah at the time Sean Combs did, balling JLo was cool. But let us not forget she dumped his ass for being a crying bitch and getting her in some thugged out fight at a club. They both are huge blubbering vaginas. . . . period.

You left out the part in the post where T.I. is the best rapper alive.

I just have one question: What country was T.I. planning to invade? I saw the pictures of the guns and it’s fucking ridiculous. He has more advanced weaponry than Hezbollah. And I know that they aren’t for defense because no one needs that type of arsenal for defense unless their enemy is China. So what country was it, T.I.? It was Bolivia, wasn’t it? I knew it was Bolivia.

Are you kidding me giving P-puff doody props??? He and his big teeth rode Biggy all the way to the bank. Thinks he’s cool and I’ll give him MTV cool- horray for the teeny respect and hosting sweet 16 bashes. Your bands suck, your reality shows suck, and horray again, for running an fn’ marathon- someone obviously never had enough attention as a bunny buck- toothed, broken out kid. Thank God Pro-Active money found you.
