12730248, He didn't say anything I haven't heard artists like MOP/Big Daddy Posted by vee-lover, Wed Feb-18-15 12:21 PM
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..
>G's point isn't worthy of discussion. > >whether HH is or should be a cultural movement w/a goal and >all that...that's another talk.
