“It will get to the main target group, and the moderator, she was attempting so arduous to pollute the water […] it is like 20 individuals and we’re behind them and she or he goes ‘So what did you consider the music?’ Then all 20 of them began going, ‘Oh it was nice,’ and she or he goes, ‘However what about a number of the rap songs,’ after which they go, ‘Oh, it was nice, it was nice’ [and the moderator replies], ‘However perhaps there have been too a lot of them?’ And she or he tries to get somebody to nod alongside together with her and they might not give her something.”

In line with Choose, one viewers member sealed the deal when he defined to the moderator precisely why the gangsta rap was so integral to the scene, saying, “That is what’s cool about it, these nerdy white boys and the music’s indignant.” Thus, the gangsta rap stayed and the movie was all the higher for it, with Choose even giving Tom Rothman credit score for “by no means [saying] something about it once more” and “retaining his phrase.”
