...i hate rap music...

...i hate rap music. i love it so much...probably more than most. yet i hate it so much more. it gives 19 year old men and women, who have such inspirational visions and an uncanny ability to relay those visions through words, be it articulately or not, the chance to LIVE. to do things that most kids from their situations/backgrouds shouldn't think is real. not when compared to what they see on a daily. they can relay what goes on in the lives of the majority of the minority...they can bring attention to all the problems that they face...whether those problems are solved or not is an entirely different subject. but it allows them to put it on the table. its a great way to teach. it does a number of things...it ispires...it informs...but lets hope its not instructing...

...at the end of the day...THEY play this. THEY flood the televisions, radios, and internet with it. THEY keep it in steady rotation. to keep a steady image in our brains...this is what it is...this is how its happening. this is what you're supposed to do. this is how you're supposed to act. i hope these aren't the instructions...i hope we aren't following them...
