Black Entertainment : rappers sell out black people......

Let's keep something in mind here brother James. As a cultural critic when you make such a post months or weeks after praising a white "rapper " who is herself part of the infiltration, co-optation and degradation of Hip-hop CULTURE, what do you expect?

Notice I have highlighted two things in my responses, which are thought out and are not merely. "Reactions ". The first is ARTISTS. Hip hop is a CULTURE and an ART form. Anyone who needs explanation of my statement does not KNOW what Hip Hop is. It's more than a fashion statement. It's more than "rappers ". It's more than "rap music ". But perhaps most of us don't know that because of what it's been reduced two. And even worse , it's been reduced to this.http://m.tmz.com/#Article/2014/09/16/iggy-azalea-ex-boyfriend-sex-tape-rights-sell-signed-agreement

Rap is the reduction of hip hop to a single element. Can we really say Rap qualifies as MCing? For the sake of this threads OP, in this context, I Say Yeah.

BUT that's only 20% of the Equation. And if it ain't affirming Hop Hop CULTURE or if it's disconnected from the whole, it shouldn't be used to condemn the entire Body of KNOWING The Ledge which seeks to use Knowledge as a Means to Leverage Real Black Power.

"Knowledge is the reason why we are who we are where did our roots comes from, what is the beginning of Man and where are we today. How do we take the artistic expression of Hip Hop and find our purpose in LIFE!"

Good points brutha O.

This is what I was saying that led me to clumping everything together.

This is my wife's cousin, he out of Oregon, and positive rappers like him only get fame by word of mouth.



Peace!
