And.. I too have traveled extensively though south England and France. I
hate to be the one to break this one too you, but we set the pace for
you. From our TV shows to Hip-Hop music, nothing new has come out of

hilarious to watch your teens try find some new Hip-Hop identity, and
try to make it look "getto".
