i did not say they were all white /black. altho' i attended a dead prez show in England and most peeps were white (and high). but i'd like to hear some black ppl (not the artists) saying hip hop is "breaking down barriers." what does this mean exactly? i mean, does it mean that blk ppl and white ppl are able to dance in the same room? listen to the same music? didn't we do this in the '70s? i guess i need a definition of "breaking down barriers". what does it mean "after the morning after" (c) Frankie Beverly w/ Maze, u know? after the music's off, don't we go our separate ways? so is this barrier broken down for the moment? school me, i'm listening.
