smh.

i said dc didn't know what to do with it either -- as a black man.
in response to your contention -- and suggestions that ji and tm didn't know what to do with it b/c they are white.

the way i see it dc wouldn't have embraced hip hop -- nor put it on soul train -- if he didn't see it as commercially viable. he didn't dig it nor did he know what to do with it until it became marketable.
then he figured out what to do with it - make paper off of it.

not so dissimilar to what arsenio, letterman, etc. did with it.

peace.

one.
