Congressional Hearings on Hip Hop - Panel 2 (2 of 9)

[AsiaticBlackman7]

Michael Eric Dyson is the fucking Man! he always goes to bat for Hip-Hop!

[bunnyec]

what ever i love gangsta rap cuz even if you take it away we still going be the same they just saying its on rap because they cant get guns n violence off the street

[blackplatano]

Master P is just blabbing about nothing...WTF is he saying? What is his argument?

That hip-hop is improper? He sounds like he feels guilty about himself. get over it. Chill with the bitchassness.

[Kalidasa6]

I don't really believe there is any real threat to hip-hop... this is the same shit that happened with 'heavy metal' and rock back in the day.

[dei57]

if you r gonna leave a comment please think about what you are saying

[dei57]

what is "our"society;white only;mexican only;chinese only;what the bottom line is the word nigger means lazy anybody can be a nigger what you said is your opinion,it's not true,i agree be part of the solution....as far as being dragged down, if you let someone drag you down thats on you..

[Concreet420]

im not tryna argue with either one of you. But i belive the slang word "Nigger" Is a derivitave of "Negro" Negro being the word that describes All black ppl (as Hispanic, Caucajun, or Oriental describes other races) and Nigger was derived from that word to be Used with a negative conotation directed at Blacks specificly. Its a racial slur. Not an Intellectual condesention. its used to piss off and offend Black ppl, Not lazy ppl.

[benvindo05]

You named us niggers.

[benvindo05]

We are still going through modern slavery, and dont try to act naive. Motherfuckers like you may not be racist, but there is still racism in this country, am i right?

[benvindo05]

You say there is laws to prevent racism? All i gotta tell you is Sean Bell!

[crazycoolone]

Laws exist to prevent racism? Is that what this person said??? No law can regulate the heart of man. Anti-Semitism, racism, sexism would never exist in America if this were true.

Clandestine racism of grandfathering people into jobs & opportunity are in EFFECT & alive & well.

Most intellects in the Black community are not given the support to put things in place; often it's youth that don't know anything but sports or rap are given millions to distract from real problems and solutions.

[benvindo05]

u talkin about Italians, Irish, Spanish that's where the so callle white people came from. There ain't nothing worse than slavery. Would you please give us sometime time to recover from those 400 years?

[benvindo05]

Don't tell to go back to Africa, you acting like as if this country belongs to white people. If i go back to Africa then you should go back to Irelan, Spain, England, Russia, Italy, Scotland, Germany or wherever you'r from.

[benvindo05]

Man Fuck You.

[Melanatedone]

Csmith624 - still living up the stereo type about black and welfare... when FACTUALLY Whites reap the BIGGEST portion of welfare collection. DO YOUR RESEARCH B4 U OPEN YOUR BIG MOUTH! You told that man to get an education... it appears that the most ignorant person always seem to know what's best for everyone else. Get your FACTS straight! You're nothing more than a defective black man any way... SLC24A5, the genetic protein known as "the glitch" that causes your skin to loose its complexion.

[Melanatedone]

BULLSH!T.The Jews are nothing but a bunch of thieves that USED black people through piggy-back-riding the civil rights movement.Shaking hand, cutting deals, putting together the NAACP for them,just to BACK STAB the SH!T out of them in the end once the laws were set in stone.The Jews ran out the Palestinians and committed genocide on stolen land that they claimed their god left for them! Jerusalem?NO-Stolen Palestine. Spare me the sob stories when it comes to the JEWS,their hands are way 2 dirty.

[Melanatedone]

Where exactly are you digging this up from? WHERE ARE YOUR FACTS? If this is a personal observation then it's a very limited viewing lens that you're looking through. Let's speak facts and reasoning.What happened to all of the Native Americans? Genocide. What's going on in the middle east..Ethnic cleansing. What's going on in Africa with Apartheid? Is it save to assume that the White Culture is self destructive and anything that they're involved in leads to bloodshed and aggressive take over?

[Melanatedone]

Yet again... are you asking or telling? I am interested in solutions... if a black man is wrong then he is wrong, same goes for anyone else. Damn the emotional reasoning, it hold 0 logics. What happened to the Hip-hop culture? Do you know the "real" history of Hip-hop? Rap is the bastard child of Hip-hop... Rap is NOT black culture... Rap is the end result of when YOUR people Institutionalized Hip-Hop and made it a business. You Rap it up and Sell it now with sell out artist.

[mohamed724]

not all rap is bad nelly is rapping but he doesnt encourage ppl to sell drugs and shit blame gangsta rap for the shit its a difference btw usual rap and gangsta rap listen to changed man joe and lets ride the game and u ll see the difference

[Melanatedone]

I am VERY aware of that - I am a hip hop/Reggae artist... goggle Venom Spartan! Yep, that's me....

[mohamed724]

well the dirty ones re the jews the western people re just dumbasses they dont know shit and afamericans need to achieve goals every african american wants to sing life doesnt work like that

[mohamed724]

rasism exists and u cant destroy i still wonder why black act illegally and then claim in rasism u decide whether u wanna kill each other or develop each other

[dabaddest39455]

SHHH PLEASE STOP

[faithsy89]

what channel was this shown on?

[hooyo4ever]

i have just gained the most unbeliveable respect for david banner carrying the legacy of pac goddbless him

[youngcounty1]

David Banner was cool but Master P is a prick. You can't change the way someone thinks. If bitches, hoes, pimps, gangs, and guns sell then thats what kids is gonna rap about. There's a world wide web. If you like a certain type of rap then buy that kind. Give me liberty or give me death.

[karaTHEbeast]

The music is nothing but a reflection of what the world is today. Hip Hop isn't as good as it has been because the world isn't as good. That goes for most other genres of music too.

[shogun37]

Banner made a good statement but at the same time Hip Hop is also sick beacuase it really isnt as good as it used to be!!! I mean interms of creativity, music, and lyrics. The talent just isnt good anymore. That should be the new challege of Hip hop make it good so that it can survive.

[geduliss]

theres still good hip hop around, like The roots, Common, and many more. Just that the media is focused on that simple-and-stupid form of hip hop nowadays.

[JoshSizzle2007]

They both did an amzing Job backing up Hip Hop. Master P did good, and so did David Banner.

[ParadigmShift302]

Much respect to Master P. I wonder why Chuck D was'nt on here. Michael Eric Dyson? hmmmm

[chrystal062]

david banner couldnt say it any better. it is good to say someone speak the truth.

[SEXBEACH2]

ah there morons. rappers and men that listen to this hate everything, and women. its wrong no need for hate. luckily there are more smart women, and men. this is bull crap not needed no excuse for the languge in any of there no talent songs. i dont like the beat of rap, but thats not the point yall can have your rap just change the lyrics have a heart. talk about degrading black women, and black men. what a joke, and a waste enough

[Clip5299]

how you go say that when you listen to manson and metal. I could sterotype you and say you worship the devil. No talent songs not all rap is what you hear on the radio. That is the media. not sayin that M Manson don't have good music but i can get on a mic and screem ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[anahubby]

listen to common u fuckin idiot

[bludagreatest]

only 11,000 views man this the shit people need to be watching

[SEXBEACH2]

i know right

[rastheking]

This country is so hypocritical its not even funny. I remember watching Glenn Beck talking about how hip hop is poison in one segment, then told a guest of his right after that how great the last Sopranos episode was.

[ezekwu]

this is some scary shit,what the fuck happened to freedom of speech

[drethig06]

pernt the fingas? new orleans for ya.. but p is on it tho.. real talk.

[nazd]

this is bullshit. these congress house niggas should sit bush down and grill him about why he sat on his sorry redneck ass for five day while people were dieing in new orlands. people are so full of shit. they want to criticize the language that's used but don't to confront nore solve the social ills that breed that language.

[gambyt3]

all i can say is dat if u wanna follow the lifestyle that they speak of in rap, god damn u gotta be stupid. This is the biggest waste of time. This aint the artists' problems, its those who listen to the music and think that they have to do wat is said in it. Wow, this shit is really stupid.

[InVisiBLeQT]

Also, why are the people always attacking the rappers? I know they write the songs but if there were no Rick Rubin, there would be no Ludacris an so on. I find it funny how people always go after the rapper for what he or she writes when their record label heads have to put a stamp of approval on it before it hits the streets so why is nobody calling them out?

[ujamaa4]

That is the usual tactic in this country in regards to most issues. Instead of dealing with the greater cause or higher contributor of an issue they attack it's lower end. And the idiocy in that is that nothing ever gets resolved because the real underlying causes of the issues still exist.

[InVisiBLeQT]

Wow when I read the title I thought the video would be a joke when I opened it. Is it that serious? They only made it so serious because it's not just black kids that are influenced by the music anymore, the white kids buy more of the hip hop than we do an they also try to copy the lifestyle and additude.

[InVisiBLeQT]

Actually I have not bought a REAL hip hop cd in years because most though NOT ALL of the music these days is garbage. Hip hop and rap these days do need a change the content of the music, the meanings,the videos, everything.

[biggun79]

i agree 100% with the unuion idea run dat shit p and the nigga dont even sound that country no mo now he just sound southern real talk

[muffinma79]

master p  said some true shit

[blackpress]

To hear the exclusive interview that MASTER P only gave to BlackPressRadio's DC LIVERS, visit blog[dot]blackpressafrica[dot]­com.

[hoshkins]

In a way, this really pisses me off. Music is fine. We have troops dying overseas, poverty, drugs, and crime. Why the fuck is hip-hop even being brought up in Congress? Total waste of time and tax money.

[Doobyis]

"it is a buissness" thats weak, how about you start makin music for a reason other than to make money off your comunity. sell em useless brain numbing cds rather than useless brain numbing drugs? lets start there

[JusBeCuzz]

lol... David Banner left them speechless...hahahaha

[whodathunkit01]

Hip hop is sick because America is sick

The key phrase here...

"word!"

[LAYBiRD]

Master P's argument is legit but sounds weak. "If" I was against hip hop, i wouldn't feel any different by his testimony.
