Kane/Lord Jamar or even KRS ONE say in regards to how the new generation of HIpHoppers are dropping the ball w/preserving the art form

Whether it's the imagery they're promoting or the message or lack thereof in the music - the artists themselves have expressed their opinions no different than what Geradlo is saying

I could see if Geraldo made a blanket generalized statement abt HipHop that since it's inception it's only been a negative influence on blk and brown ppl...but he specifically said the last 10 years and there's a lot of truth to that...

I think we as a community get defensive, and understandably so, whenever the criticisms of us are coming from without..
