>I like this thread for two reasons. <BR>><BR>>1)You fail to be on the nuts <BR>>of The Roots and hesitate to <BR>>disagree with them simply because they <BR>>are the focus of this website. <BR>>They can learn and grow from <BR>>us too. <P>I'm really tired of folks acting like it's some big deal and an act of courage and honor when they or someone disagrees with or dislikes something about an okayartist. This is nothing new and has been going on since day one (CHECK THE ARCHIVES). Go back and find the intial Black lily reviews. <P>This is a FAN site and liking the artists of this site is not a sign that someone is "on the nuts" as you so eloquently put it.<P>ANYWAY!!<P>I think more sistas (all of us really) really need to hold these MCs' feet to the fire when they spew mysoginistic and homophobic lines. All of us really seem to just let it slide all the time. But unless heads are really willing to call heads out on shit it won't change a bit.<P>I remember reading the Roots Stress interview during the summer and I was just so extremely disgusted/disappointed by some of the comments that Kamal made. I mean money sounded SO unbelievably homophobic and it just made no sense to me.<P><BR>"Nesta...You big ol' pimp...how did we get started talkin' about THAT!?" - kawright<P>"Now...I am all for an occasional 'Bitch' when you dealing with West Coast flows...but be creative with ya 'Bitches'...ya know?" - DivineVersatile<P>"Only when lions have historians will hunters cease to he heroes." - African Proverb
