13. "RE: Elders, Youth, Saul Williams and Black Revolution"
In response to In response to 0


          

It almost seems redundant to answer this question, when it's been answered already with my same sentiments, but I got 2 cents, so I'm sharing it:

1) Black artists are NOT obligated to ANY movement, Black or otherwise, but considering they're already in the public eye, if they do promote a particular movement, they give that movement more credibility depending on their fan base. However, whatever movement they promote, they should definitely be serious about it and doing it for the right reasons, nahmean!

2) Elders should not step completely OUT of leadership positions, but they should possibly step to da side or step down, and remain as counselors or confidants based on their knowledge of the history of whatever causes the younger bloods are taking the reigns of. Similar to a mentoring process, so that all is not lost in the way of "FOUNDATION".

3) I don't feel Saul was wrong based on the info you provided.

4) Elders are human and they make mistakes just like anybody else. There's a time and a place to point out mistakes, to anyone, elder or young'un --- And if it's done tactfully and at the right time, I think it's always appropriate.

5) The Hip Hop generation must stay true to their hearts and not be led down the road of bling~bling, and everything that glitters. CHANGE COMES FROM WITHIN, so heads need to surround themselves with positive people who are willing to take action in whatever small ways they can to make a difference.
