  • yeah if oprah and al sharpton and all these cats really wanted betta music then y dont they give real musicians a voice, y dont they start their own record labels and make their own TV stations so that way BET and MTV will have to start realising the crap they put out.

  • The argument is logically simple, as much as there is to disect. The disection of the issue isn't even necessary if the finger pointers saw the bigger picture.

    Since rappers are so hole heartedly attacked, we need intellectuals like Michael Erick Dyson, or Hip-Hop alumni Master P to unequivocally defend the name of Hip-Hop as a "free-speech" artform. Overall, they are not explaining why Hip-Hop should change, but are planting the understanding that positive influence is heavily appreciated.

  • if lil romeo wasnt a nickelodeon star, master p's fake ass would still b makin records. romeo is all hes got. i still remember when nelly was a big star on tha disney channel- till they heard his real music, then they got rid of all his shit. u dont see him apologing like a lil bitch though. real niggas dont do that shit. we stand up for what we do and did, just like banner did. fuck master p.

  • What Percy Miller is saying is right & exact!

    I think he's matured since he first came out. I think he's speaking truth to power because he grew up being a father and seeing responsible.

  • thaks man im just trying to slap the ignrant fools with facts u know.

  • we live in a world of followers stand up do u be you its easy 2 say but not 2 do because i want money ima do what sells i gotta eat and that is the mindset of alot of rappers they wana be positive after they make it way after then its 2 late its just a song
