I'm glad to know your grandson is finally turning it around and getting it together. We can't give up hope. Only "the truth" will set us free. And you are SO right, you seldom if ever see dreams/stories like that on a hip hop video.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09792085144824685369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34223438.post-82914427317231304572007-06-10T08:21:00.000-05:002007-06-10T08:21:00.000-05:00Hip Hop can't die soon enough for me. My grandson ...Hip Hop can't die soon enough for me. My grandson grew up listening to Hip Hop that my daughter played all the time. I'll never forget a conversation I had with him. He'd been acting up in school and at home. I told him he'd better straighten up or one day, he'll end up in jail. He told me he wouldn't mind going to jail. I was flabbergasted. He seemed to look forward to it. I realized his idea of jail came from BET and videos.<BR/>Hip Hop videos. IMHO, the KKK is laughing at us, watching our youth slaughter each other in black-on-black crime. Hip Hop is the new "slave plantation brainwashing" for today. Only, we're doing it to ourselves. And my grandson? He's<BR/>18 now, living in a group home, and he's finally straightened up. He wants to be a cook, a chef. You won't see dreams like that on a Hip Hop video. <BR/>Bennie, Charlotte, NC.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34223438.post-69775915509559422782007-04-30T10:56:00.000-05:002007-04-30T10:56:00.000-05:00Radiogirl,Appreciate the "insider" point of view. ...Radiogirl,<BR/>Appreciate the "insider" point of view. I hope you keep doing what you're doing. We need to have more female involvement in Hip Hop in order to keep the art form as well as the conversation about it a balanced one.<BR/><BR/>I agree that some folks have become numb to those words. We have bred a generation of the "walking dead" who sadly, are increasingly numb to a lot that they ought not be.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09792085144824685369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34223438.post-83780864949337840382007-04-30T09:45:00.000-05:002007-04-30T09:45:00.000-05:00I host a hip hop show.

I don't know that this Simmons/Chavis 'request' will make a difference; it's a little late, but I guess better late than never. People are really numb to those words right now, at least as it relates to hip hop music.ohradiogirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06948342912651290167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34223438.post-28498090877835206182007-04-28T09:10:00.000-05:002007-04-28T09:10:00.000-05:00Hey Plez,Thanks for the comment.
