Furthermore u can make the case that many negative things in hip hop have a point (ie - violence and drugs CAN be part of a STORY) ...the examples I pointed out are just gratuitous stupidity..I think you can see the difference

[petererosenberg]

Yo that's the dumbest hater shit I've ever heard...I ALWAYS endorse positive hip hop and everyone who knows what I do knows that I support the good and positive shit, but what's wrong with me speaking out on something that is personal to me?

I think Kanye was using it as a metaphor. He was drinking (not being in control of his actions aka the VMA awards), and now he's driving (in control of his actions, sober).

@ahjjones perhaps youre right..never thought of that

[petererosenberg]

@ahjjones but actually -- it doesnt matter what he meant does it? cuz if i didnt realize that and I am a fairly smart adult -- would kids figure it out??

When you take a stand and stop playing there music on the radio, than they will change. As long as they get spins, they get money. Nothing will change a hip hop artists perspective until there pockets start to hurt.

I lost 1 of my best friend like that, and that's bullshit. Someone have to say it and u did it with right words according to me. So many thanks for that, my condolences and respect to Mr Rosenberg from a headz from belgium.

Peace.

@BIGGZMUSICTV I don't really see it that way, but to each their own.

Firstly,my condolences Pete. Secondly,''Drink driving?Sounds tame and no-one really cares.However,your brother in law was actually killed by an Ethanol drug driver who was under the delusion that he was only 'drinking'.Not suprising considering that gov'ts,Ethanol drug cartels and other vested interests(including parents) all teach that the drug Ethanol is only a 'drink' while persecuting others for drug choice.It's time to remove the 'drink' delusion from the drug ETHANOL.

[tjbmsp]

[tjbmsp]
