You think he's good in a computer screen? He is MIND BLOWING in real life. I had the chance to attend to one of his lectures. His words are powerful, and I don't think his stuff is BS, he stands for what he believes in, and that takes a really strong man to accomplish such a task.

Mr. Dyson is great. I love listening to him speak. He makes me think and want to read on subjects I normally don't think about everyday.

I hate it when people talk about haters if anybody's two cents hurts you which it does most of the time are you really gonna make some stupid song about it

[Miguelito203]

It's Dr.  I totally agree with you.

VERY poor comment. He loves hipop, but he has never supported the negativity that some of it potrays....he believes in the traditional form of hipop. And its a lot for someone to be able to combine all of those. He's pretty insightful regardless of how he chooses to portray his points.

are you serious?? who are you?

[pinkwrapbub]

i dont agree with alot of wut dyson says but for some reason when he raps i lose respect b4 him because most ppl who rap that i know are pretty ignorant and annoy the shit out of me...it would be like bill clinton singing heavy metal..i would lose respect for him for some reason

I disagree on the idea that MED is a part of the "elite", because if he was he would be a part of beourgious existince. Most of the beourgious brothers and sisters have a condenscending scope of people in poverty; being oblivious to the social structures that slows down their advancment, which they may have been fortuante enought to bypass.

So, MED in my opinion, is a true example of love and service and expresses himself in a way that bro. Cornel West might not be able to in reaching the youth

WTF?!? i see that MR DYSON forgot to mention something existing in our community!?!!! THE HATERS!!!! SHIT whenever we got a brother who tries to get it right we get some (like DR DRE would say:) "bitch ass niggaz" posting negative comments (mikeweb92576)'cause that's too hard for them to understand!!! & by the way; if DR DYSON is not creative for you(mikeweb92576); your teachers must be fuckin' aliens or some prophets commin' back to bring the light to your darkenned earth!! stupid fuck!!

[mikeweb92576]

Dyson likes to try and explain what people do and say and make excuses for negativity. Dyson teaches because we have Dr. King and Tupac we don't never that to be shit. He's trying to be cool and hip with the young cats and get a pat on the head by the older black intellectual elite to which he belongs.
