Is Hip-Hop Bad for Black America?
Jul 2nd
source: atlanta post
Is Hip Hop Holding Back African-Americans? That’s what we asked Thomas Chatterton Williams, author of “Losing My Cool: How a Father’s Love and 15,000 Books Beat Hip-Hop Culture” and Dr. Lester Spence, associate professor of political science at John Hopkins University and author of the forthcoming book “Stare in the Darkness: Rap, Hip-hop, and Black Politics.” It’s a vague question, we know, but one that Williams recently evoked with the publication of his book. It is certainly a question that will continue to echo through discussions on African-American political and social topics for quite some time.
I thought it was a pretty interesting discussion, so I wanted to share it with ya’ll…

Nas “Hip Hop is still DEAD”
May 26th
In 2006 Nas was the first rapper to proclaim that hip-hop was dead, in 2010 Nas’s sentiments have not changed.
According to Nas, “the games’ messed up cause everybody’s gangsta but they prima donnas.”
“it’s a beautiful thing, putting out music” says the rapper, whose been making albums since 1994.
“It ain’t the music business, it’s n*ggas and their sh*t.”
With the release of his new album with Damien Marley, Distant Relatives, Nas has made it clear that something is missing from the hip-hop world and part of that is due to the money hungry atmosphere it encompasses.
No longer are people focused on the elements and what is needed to make good music but the focus has been shifted towards marketing, and how to get the most money.
“If you feel good about it, put that sh*t out” Nas said.
I agree with NAS everything is a gimmick, you don’t have to be talented now a days
it’s all about selling an image or a fake facade…
wocka flacka said it himself “i don’t need no lyrics to be a rapper” ummm what part of the game is that?
I guess it’s true now a days, cus he’s the hottest thing in the south right now.
anyways check out his interview…
C-Murder is upset…
Apr 10th
C-Murder called in to the “madd hatta mornin show” in Houston,
C-Murder is salty at his big bro, he basically wants Master P to keep his name out his mouth, cus it’s messing up his appeal.
C says he ain’t talked to P in years…i think that’s sad cus their brothers. what’s worse is the situation, is not out the norm…
to many folks are out here making stupid decisions, and ending up in prison.
wake up kiddes! if you run with folks who ain’t about ishh,
trust and believe you will get caught up in the nonsense and drama.
Now i agree with what Master P was saying…but i find it funny that it was ok to call him C-Murder back in the TRU days, when “No Limit” was on top and making mad money, but now that “No Limit” is basically gone,
and Master P has “grown up” all the sudden C-Murder needs to change his name?? hell ya’ll should have told him that in 1990! #sideye.
