I finally got sick of the new neighbors playing rap in the street

[Don Robison]

Play it at 0800hrs, or earlier if needed.

Years ago when I first moved to FL I had some neighbors who would work on their stock car until 0300 and usually test the tune from 0200-0300. Open headers at 0300 will make pictures fall from the walls. It came to an abrupt halt when I started letting my truck "warm up" from 0500 until I left for work at 0630. Apparently they didn't like 1800 watts of bagpipe music.

I have either Bagpipe or Civil War Fife & Drum music for myself. If I really wanted to cause problems I could play my CD of Minstrel Music from the 1800s which have the original, not PC lyrics.

I do the same thing, but it is a combination of punk, hardcore, and irish folk/punk.

I just spent a week in Philly though, and I think that in certain neighborhoods this practice could escalate to violence very quickly. I have been there many times before, but the amount of racial tension still blows me away every time I'm there.

A lot of malls and stuff have figured this out too.

They play Gospel, or Barry Manilow, or other sort of music and the young people hanging out move on...

[m4fun]

At first I was going to suggest Drowning Pool or Static-X, but honestly, Barry Mannilo or Gospel might be the ticket. My wifes Christian Contemporary does it for me.

Cruachan or are there more I need to add to my list?

My personal favorite to counter rap is bluegrass. Flatt and Scruggs does the trick real quick. I have a feeling cleaning a shotgun on the front porch while blasting 'A Country Boy Can Survive' would probably work as well. I'm just glad my time in a neighborhood where rap was played constantly was short lived. Although now the lesbians across the road are starting to drive me nuts with their 4-wheelers.

Same old story - this used to be a quiet neighborhood full of older people, but as they've croaked or moved to nursing homes, the houses are starting to go to rentals and less desirable neighbors. I'm moving as soon as I can, but until then, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NelBNtNm8l0

so loud my ceiling fan is buzzing in my living room.


I have found the Anti-ghetto-rat repellent: Irish music played at 11.

I'm sitting in my living room enjoying a Guinness and listening to the sweet sound of the Wolfe Tones at 140db from MY truck in my driveway.

Suck it, mother****ers.

Mozart is more effective, initially. If that doesn't enculturate them then try Heavy Metal with lots of guitar...

PLEASE keep us informed or PM me!

I don't understand the tension. People (should) wish to be allowed to earn money (honestly) and raise their kids (in a Godly manner).

It's best to vacate the cities while their is time...
