"These cats have $150,000 watches and still end up everywhere two hours late.” - Cheo Hodari Coker
“At the school where I teach, we have no funds to expose kids to other realities. All they have is TV to help them dream, and hip-hop is their escape. That’s how a Jay-Z becomes their role model. It breaks my heart not to be able to take my students to the zoo or the museum, or to a play. Instead of criticizing hip-hop, the government needs to make available other things for these kids to do—give them options, so fast money and material things won’t be their only dream.” - Jacqueline Smith, GA schoolteacher
