I loved the film Do The Right Thing as a kid. It was one of my favorite Spike Lee joints.

Radio Raheem was an icon to me. The sound of hip hop in the street. It makes me sad how many people no longer want to interact with others in public.

The typical offender here is the well-to-do Canadian kid blasting gangsta rap in the back of the bus as though he's hard. He also has that early Justin Bieber accent down to a science. Hailing from the Detroit area myself and having spent nearly a decade in this province, I don't think this kid has ever met a gangsta in his life.

It feels like this is getting worse every year. If you're going to do this, at least get a quality boombox with good music like Radio Raheem.
