HIP HOP VS. America

I really like this Hip Hop VS America show that BET is doing..

First of all..I grew up 'watching' MC Lyte..I saw watching because I was probably 3 or something but I remember being with my older half sister listening and watching her on videos..

I really didn't like the first part though. They had all of the male rappers up there..making a bunch of noise. Just like most of them do in their music..

The second part is pretty interesting. I am watching it as I am writing this...

I believe that Hip Hop isn't going to change..

Like Wayne said "Money, Cars, Clothes, Hoes...I'm from the ghetto so give me my.." Most of us..who didn't grow up in the "Baldwin Hills" saw some ish growing up. I know I did.

I saw girls @ 14 w/ babies. It was cool to be "fast"..is what my mom used to call it..

There were no jobs really where I'm from so there were a lot of drugs, lots of junkies..

Lots of girls looking to get a dope boy..

I've seen blood on the streets after somebody got shot..

I've seen a lady's hand that was almost severed in the projects..her man did it..

I've seen people start drama just because there is nothing better to do..

When I was little I used to give my cousins in the projects my "real money" in exchange for their food stamps..Back when they were paper.. lol.. before I knew what the "project" were..I thought I would go there and see all types of experiments..Ha!

So this is reality to people who grow up in urban areas. That's why most of the art of Hip Hop artist rap about all this grimy stuff. Some of them are fakes.. haven't experience what they rap about..

If they haven't they should rap in second person.. They should never say I..

I write all of the time outside of myself...I watch and observe..so I can write about it later..

We have to separate the two.. Until then it isn't going to change..

And as for the "video models"

It is a good job to have. I wouldn't mind having a gig or two..Depending on what it is..

I would def. pick and choose...but my ass isn't big enough.. That's what's wrong with Hip Hop right there..

Would I show my ass if I had one on the front of KING..Hell yes..lol..but I don't so that is just a fantasy..

Anyway..I pray for HIP HOP..because I feel like it's left me..when it actually helped raise me..
