You go Camillionaire,I probably spelled it wrong.
You should be elected spokesman for Hip-Hop. You are very articulate and articulated the message so well. PEACE
Well bruh, I think you made some very relevant points in your blog, the problem is morals and parenting in the larger scheme of things. However, rappers have to understand two main things, that for millions of black children accross the world, hip hop is reality. I’m twenty four and been listening to music long enuff to understand it’s just that. I work in children’s mental and behavorial health and everyday they attempt to mimic what they see on the idiot box. Art used to immitate life, now life is immitating art. And although I agree being staunch critics like Oprah and Al Sharpton has been may not be the way to make the necessary changes the community needs. Here’s a viable solution, instead of a made for tv debate, lets have a think tank, in which raps influential critics and rappers find a way to finance independent schools that will allow Black youth to obtain a competitive education so as they listen to this music they will no longer fall behind their racial counterparts in this technology age. Your critics, like Oprah has done this with her all girl school in south africa, Tupac hinted around to similiar projects before his demise. In reality, as you eluded to the moral issue is the problem so the best way to address it is in schooling, we cant go into the homes and make parents parent, but we can give those who come to schools the adequate tools needed to succeed in life. Forums aren’t going to change rappers opinions, rap pays their bills, critics write books or galvanize people on issues so you all need each other in some shape or fashion. The question is, behind close doors can you all work to make progress for the youth who need your help when the debating is done?
