How come when Obama (1/2 white man) says that rap music is sending a wrong message, he is a genius, but when someone else says it (i.e. O’Reilly), he’s an idiot??
In addition, Stan J: did you really just spell the word ‘hear’ HERE?

Barack is on point and to the ignorant ones, especially the clown that said Barack wouldn’t know good music if it bit him…… I’m saying it and I dare someone to say something different but hip hop as we know it is dead the art form is dead and the entertainment value is gone… And I’m like the sister that said she was showing her age I grew up on Run-DMC, Eric B. and Rakim, The Blast Master KRS-ONE, Big Daddy Kane, Salt n Pepa, Heavy D and The Boyz, and of course the four father like Afrikka Bambata and the Zulu Nation, Sugar Hill Gang and cant forget Grand Master Flash and the Furious Five…… The so called hip hop of today is so whack that the rappers should be ashamed of themselves, don’t get me wrong Jay-Z, Nas, Kayne & Common are all great but where does Hip Hop go after that….. People are riding LiL Wayne like he’s the second coming his music sucks, I sorry but to these new artist study your craft….. Study Paid in Full by Eric B. and Rakim, study By All Means Necessary by Boogie Down Productions, study Long Live The Kane by Big Daddy Kane…… Yall have a lot to learn

I agree with Barack Obama. The hip hop industry is acceptable until it start degrading women. Hip hop has became part of the black culture.

Next President of the United States, you are right, but let’s not forget that there are others with positive lyrics like LL Cool J, Nas, because I have young girls and I have to say something and make sure I monitor what they listen to.about some of the words that are out here in hip hop music today.

I cosign President Obama 100%![yes he's the prez!]
lol

Yo why are you all dissing hip hop and rap for its the only thing that puts us blacks in the spotlight for us to speak out about how we feel, no matter what you do and you say hip hop will never die or get banned because if you ban hip hop and rap what else is left Heavy Metal, country music come on give me a break. If you dont like hip hop or rap dont listen to it.

this guy is a prophet when he talks even the Angels listen to him. That’s why he should be the next president of United States of A. For those who don’t know who he is, take a look in the Bible
Judges chapter four, read the whole you will see wwho Barrack is.

Lets look at everyone that has a part in the blame .When is someone going to hold “our” media outlet as equally responsible for “rap” bieng the be all & end all of “our” ills.The company whose name is on this blog is equally responsible for the distribution of this “bad rap”. We just had mass viewing of an award show people.Take a look at the programming on the station & tell me if it`s living up to the idea of entertainment for mature & young people of our ancestry.We live in a capitalist society & to qoute part of a rap lyric which fits perfectly here:”if it dont make dollars it dont make sense”….Don`t talk about it walk about it!!!!!!!

i was waiting for personalities like Sen Obama to get into issues like this and he did. Am very proud of him and agree with him 100%. Hiphop is now a worldwide culture so the images should be drawn well. Well even though i dont have the power to vote cos am a Ghanaian living in Ghana, i still support him with all my heart.

Stop blaming hip hop for the problems of the world. Hip Hop didn’t start it, hip hop just brought it out. The degrading of woman have been going on way before hip hop was in the game. the only difference is it was done inside of the home instead of in public. these rappers and many other’s are just bringing it in the light.

CHRIS- SHUT THE F**K UP U SHOULD KNOW BETTER THAN TO BLAST BARACK ON HERE….U WILL GET SHUT DOWN…N E WAYS ENOUGH ABOUT IGNORANT A** PEOPLE, BARACK IS 100% RIGHT…SOME HIP HOP ARTISTS (I AM NOT GOING TO SAY ALL BECAUSE SOME ARTISTS ARE MORE POSITIVE THAN NEGATIVE) PORTRAY NEGATIVE AND FAKE IMAGES OF THEMSELVES AND THE LIVES THEY LIVE…THESE ARTISTS GET IN THESE VIDEOS AND TRY TO “FLOSS” LIKE THEY GOT ALL THIS MONEY WHEN THE HOUSE THAT THEY ARE SHOOTING THE VIDEO IS BEING RENTED FOR THE DAY…THE CARS ARE A RENTAL…THE JEWERLY IS LENDED TO THEM FOR THE DAY…AND THE LIST GOES ON…AND ALL ALONG THE WOMEN THAT ARE IN THESE VIDEOS ARE BARELY GETTING PAID TO PARADE AROUND THESE FOOLS CAUSE THEY CAN’T AFFORD TO PAY THEM!!! MUSIC ARTISTS PAY FOR THEIR OWN MUSIC VIDEOS SO YOU KNOW THE ONES THAT JUST CAME OUT WITH ONE HIT ARE TAKING THE EASY WAY OUT TO CUT COSTS!!!!….AND FYI- DON’T TRY TO GET ANYTHING FROM THE FAMOUS JACOB THE JEWELER ANYMORE CAUSE HIS A** IS LOCKED UP FOR THE NEXT 2 AND 1/2 YEARS!!! WHY SHOULD ANY OF US RESPECT THESE ARTISTS IF THEY DON’T EVEN HAVE ENOUGH RESPECT FOR THEMSELVES OR ANYBODY ELSE TO PRODUCE MORE TASTEFUL VIDEOS…SOME HIP HOP ARTISTS ARE VERY MATERIALISTIC…YOU CAN ONLY RAP ABOUT THE MONEY, CARS AND H**S TYPE OF THING FOR SO LONG AND THE S**T GETS OLD….THINK OF SOMETHING ELSE TO TALK ABOUT AND IF YOU CAN’T COME UP WITH LYRICS THAT MAKE SENSE THAT PEOPLE CAN TRULY RELATE TOO THEN THEY SHOULDN’T BE ARTISTS AT ALL NOT EVERYBODY HAS WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A TRUE SUCCESS IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY!!!!!

I agree. I would love to hear PE on the airwaves again. The suits have succeeded somewhat “dumbing down” hip hop. Some of it is fun but the rest needs to get a reality check and see that there is more to life than bling bling, Phantoms, and half-dressed women. Hip Hop has done quite a bit for American culture. It should not settle for the hand being dealt to it now. I love Game’s new song paying homage to the men and women who paved the way. Party on but party with a purpose!!!! Peace. We love you Obama you have a job ahead of you stay on point!!!

dear friends do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world, so there must be a spirit that will cause deception so that people will fall away from the truth and believe a lie, and thats were we will find arguments, quarrels, jealousy,
lovers of there own kind…
its not the music, its the spirits behind the music.

Chris, u are ignorant

It is amazing how we (Black People) complain about injustices done by “The White Man” and yet everyday we (Black People) do unjust things to our own race: Killing, robbing, raping, neglecting (reference to parenting), etc. I grew up hearing, “It takes a village to raise a child”, but now I am hearing that it is the parent’s responsibility to ensure that their child grows up with good values. As far as I am concerned, the whole world influences our behavior, values, character, morals, etc. We are all responsible, to some degree, for the choices we make in life, but those on the sidelines, who sit and watch or encourage wrong also are responsible. We are all here to help each other, not to sit and say, “well I didn’t tell Mr. Smith’s son to smoke crack. His parents should have told him not to. ” These are selfish, ignorant and unconcerned remarks. The people who say these things have a chunk of coal for a heart. Does a table not need the support of all the legs to stand? Remove one leg and see what happens. Then remove another leg and see what happens. This is what is happening to the world today. People are making excuses instead of looking the problem dead in the face and calling it for what it is. Remember these: Someone fed you before you could feed yourself and someone carried you before you could walk alone. We are all guilty when we expose children to improper things and behaviors, whether they are our kids or the neighbors kids. There is definitely a lack of RESPECT for women today. A lot of people, inlcuding RAPPERS, display this DISRESPECT for women. The people who don’t recognize that there is a problem with an “entertainer” who enjoys making money from disrespecting women and the negative way it affects our kids, then they are selfish, ignorant and miserable creatures. PEACE PEOPLE!

THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH HIP-HOP FOR REAL ARE THE ONES THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT. THE WOMEN IN THE VIDEOS ARE HOES AND WHATEVER ELSE THE SAY. I DON’T GET OFFENDED WITH THE WORDS THEY USE, BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT REFERRING TO ME. GO UP PEOPLE IF YOU DON’T LIKE DON’T LISTEN TO IT.

I do agree with Eric, because music is simply entertainment. I agree that there is far too much negativity being influenced in our hip-hop/rap, but we also need to teach our children that not all music, no matter how often music in general is almost in the 1st person perspective, is true. To some, music is just another way to say something, but to people like me, it’s also just entertainment. I will say this though: I have seen a little bit of change, but not too much (Rick Ross with a love song in “Here I Am”, Weezy giving his opinion in “Misunderstood”, etc.).
