It is quite schocking that the music industry turned some artits into simple CD peddlers...honestly speaking i have a very low opinion of Jay Z, Kanye West (how can one be so much self sufficient), 50 Cent...and i also think that Em and the Shady clan really fell off, musically speaking- with an exception for O. Trice maybe who seems to keep true to himself-at least for the moment... No, I didn’t have that chance:(

I first seen him in Slam. He put on some great poetry in that one. I worry about the current stale hip hop going 'round too. Isa,

Have you seen Saul W. in any movies? I first seen him in Slam. He put on some great poetry in that one.

I worry about the current stale hip hop going ’round too.

Rather than 'republicans', I'd call them capitalists, while the Republican party lends itself (at least its image) to capitalism. I don't see anything wrong with 'getting mine' (or you getting yours) or anyone being successful, financially or otherwise. As long as you don't tread on someone else's efforts to get theirs. But I'm rolling with a libertarian bent. On the other hand, there's some with an 'extra' ten million laying around. It makes me wonder about inner-city elite students who leave crappy schools & walk home through parks looking like landfills. His comments about Hip Hop audiences building tolerance for intellectual crap, holding the illusion of separateness are spot on. Again, I don't have any problem with celebs making mad money & wearing jewelry. I have problems with people doing it and people die in order for it to happen. I don't care if the people dying are black or any other color. Nobody should be harmed in order for me to live in excess comfort. I’ll tell ya, he’s saying some things I can’t deny or argue.
