Touching back on the post I did on Friday regarding CNN’s special on Hip-Hop “Is it Art or Poison”, I found some video footage on youtube.com with popular radio personalities Ryan Cameron, and Elle of Atlanta’s people station—V103.
Since CNN premiered their straight to the point special, Hip-Hop has been on the defense in a big way. Rappers and fans of the innovative, and often times, toxic music genre have been flooding in calls in major urban markets to express their opinions about society’s negative feelings towards rap music
I myself, continue to remain on the fence of this discussion. Though I feel that Hip-Hop isn’t a perfect art form, what genre is? If you look at Pop music, you have Madonna and Britney, who have used direct sexual overtones to sell their music. If you look at Heavy Metal/Rock, you’ve got Ozzy Osborne and Marilyn Manson who use often times grotesque pieces of machinery in their videos that would turn even the strongest stomach inside out.
What I do think is that as a people, we’ve got to take ownership and accountability for what we portray within our own culture. Hip-Hop, much like, Gospel, and R&B, belongs to the black community. We may have been robbed and cheated out of ownership like we have been on so many other things, but we still dictate its influence and ultimately its popularity. Think about it, if today’s most popular, and sought out rappers decided to staged a boycott and chose not release one track or produce a single video ever again, what would happen to Hip-Hop?
At the end of the day we need to stand up as a people and say enough is enough. Being a creative person myself, I think freedom of expression is very important. However, when it starts seep into our actual lives and transcends adults and directly effect our youth. Then we should have a responsibility to stifle some of the creativity for the further progression of our woman and children.
New York Gets Caught In A Lie During An Interview With Miss Jones
Friday. 3.2.07 10:16 pm
Things got heated between Hot 97's Miss Jones and Tifanny Pollard aka New York during a recent phone interview when Jonsie caught New York in the middle of a bold face lie. They should've asked her what was up with Sister Patterson's wig game. Audio via Hip & Pop.
ALL YALL HATERS CAN KEEP HATING ON B, BUT SHE WORTH A 100 MILL BITCHES.
10 time Grammy winner Beyonce graces the March cover of Pride. The title story has me kinda baffled. I know she's loaded but $100 Million loaded? I'm not sure about that. Either way she's making that money so more power to her.
NOW SHE AIN'T GOT NO REASON TO BE JEALOUS OF J.HUDSON, SO ALL THE HATERS NEED TO HUSH.
I've been hearing that whoever won "I Love New York" is really in love with New York, which is good because the last times didn't go so well for New York. I personally hope Tango wins because he seems more on New York's level than Chance. Chance acts like a little ass kids and I wouldn't be able to deal with his bullshit. We'll get have to wait until tonight to see what really happens.
This had to be the funny thing I heard chance say all the time when he was on his "I Love New York"
“Gimme a hug. Bitch, please! Man, I ain’t huggin’ yo’ ass! I already done slapped yo ass… Shook yo ass… Tapped that ass… Man, get yo ass up outta here.”
