"petunia" <email-address-deleted> wailed loudly and vomited the words:

>J.Lo's dad was a computer engineer or something like that, and more

i'm not defending anyone's comments, but i think what someone was
trying to say is that JLo has put out at least one CD that could
possibly be called "hip hop" and has been seen in videos with major
hip hop stars. if one had never seen "Driven" (VH1) or "Behind the
Music," one might possibly construe that JLo is a ghetto girl. and
also, i believe that it's possible that people who do not live in NYC
might believe that Bronx is the "ghetto." so putting two and two
together (hip hop music and the Bronx), one might assume something
that may or may not be true.
that's my take on what someone posted (i'm not naming names). and i
may be completely off base.
