Word to Slippin'.(That's on some Guinness World Record shit right?) The last time I felt that same way was when Nas dropped Hip Hop Is Dead, knowing substance is going over well with the masses. That's why I half-smirked when I heard Talib got down with Timberlake, kinda giving himself a vehicle to reach that demographic of pop/dance/rap-drunk kids AND debuted at #2. Same with when I hear BE, And it being Kanye-affiliated, giving listening opportunities of when Pops GOES IN to people wouldn't normally hear something like that day to day. <BR/><BR/>It's all about enlightening the next generation, so that music like that can continue to surface and provide balance.<BR/><BR/>=================================<BR/><BR/>Can you f*cking believe that there was a time when we had both?<BR/><BR/>----------------------------------<BR/><BR/>That's why I appreciate Kanye's newest lower-to-middle class targeted 16s.

You SHOULD be taking inventory.<BR/><BR/>Some rappers, are like kids,some no better some don't.<BR/><BR/>Some are going to be respectful, receptive and thoughtful, some arn't.<BR/><BR/>The ones that are, are held to a higher standard. Otherwise it would constitute beating a dead horse.<BR/>I rationale is that it makes more sense and is a prudent usage of time to look at it this way.<BR/><BR/>"Should rappers be able to live<BR/>or do they have an obligation as artists to the public?"<BR/>I don't know, how does this relate to how you feel about Lauryn Hill?<BR/>=========<BR/>Are you trying to make my internet go hood/nuts?<BR/>LOL.<BR/><BR/>Its plain and simple how this relates to L.<BR/><BR/>In my book she can do what she wants and pretty much get a pass BECAUSE of the impact that her MUSIC and artistry has had on hip hop and music listeners in general.<BR/>AND.<BR/>Because of societies schizophrenic view towards mommas that continue to work outside of the home while working to raise their babies, L is a poster momma/lady for the ridicule that momma/ladies may be subjected to.<BR/>And she ain't make the MOST healthy choices when it came to choosing a partner.<BR/><BR/>But show me a GROWN man or lady and I will show you someone who made a fucked up partner choice.<BR/>Smell me.M.Dot.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05113752779973426025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14243811.post-42807595102648067112007-08-31T11:37:00.000-04:002007-08-31T11:37:00.000-04:00"However, I expect a lot from them, especially the..."However, I expect a lot from them, especially the ones that know better"<BR/><BR/>I think that's an unfair standard to hold someone too.
