Premium Gas 3.56 /gallon in CT this past Tue (11/30/10)
Stupid ObamaCo makin’ a killin’ off the price of gas for his oil cronies.

So much for “The Black CNN.” As relevant as the original CNN.

These rappers in main stream are all talkin bout the same shyt. Drugs, sex, hustlin, jail, rims, and diamonds and tellin you how much they shyt cost. Man a nygga outta katrina aint tryin to hear how much yo shyt cost. It’s a million rappers sayin the same shyt and bout 10 sayin real shyt. Just cuz u talkin bout killing someone doesn’t make you real, it makes you stupid. They are in a position to change the way our teens think and percieve things, and yet they feed them with this BS, that I’m sure half of them haven’t even seen. Second BET is the worst shyt that could have happened to black people, cuz all they do is show Azz, azz and more azz, but will bleep out the word gunz, fart, shit, etc… IT’S A BIG JOKE AND TO DEFEND THESE NIGGAZ WHEN ITZ CLEAR HALF OF THEM ARE SELFISH AND AREN’T HALF OF THE PEOPLE THAT THEY CLAIM TO BE, IS FUCCING RETARTED.

I’m all for conscious rap but there’s one small problem–It won’t consistently sell. There are only a handfull of artist able to make conscious rap that appealed to the masses. X Clan, Public Enemy, KRS 1, and Paris. Out of those four only P.E. went platinum on a regular basis. White’s own the vehicle to drive rap on a national level and we are being brainwashed daily to think that being in jail, sexing everything that moves, and using drugs and alcohol is cool. White kids listen to rap too but most view it as party music, most don’t pattern their lives after it as a lot of blacks do.

I can’t stand the revisionist positivity police either, but isn’t it a problem that all of these songs suck?

Good post, good choice of songs too. You need to stick to topics like this and stay away from getting into gender stuff. You will definitely get more props. Other than that, I feel like rap is always going to be political and anarchistic because most rap acts are coming from the straight gutter. The only cat you left out was Immortal Technique and he is the most political rapper out now besides dead prez and a few more obscure underground cats. But over all, good blog post.

Excellent Post, Excellent songs but you forgot the Just Blaze/Green Lantern produced “Impeach The President” which features dead prez, immortal technique and saigon. Who by the way all hate bush more then road rage drivers at a exxon :)

yes, all you’re right…hiphop in the USA is… lucky there’s the rest of the planet, where hiphop was understood… ah, yes, i forgot, americans dont understand foreign languages, most of them dont even know where other countries are… uff, lucky me, me says… at on top of that, us non-americans listen to loads of hiphop from the states, but those groups/artist will NEVER be mentioned in XXL or similar… genuine RAP does still exist (even in USA), it just hasnt got anything to do with 50,etc etc….THIS is only business, with or without bling.

daesonesb- apparently you only read a part of my response. I never said there was anything wrong with wealth. What I said was, mix it up, show all aspects from bling, to revolution, to gangsta, to party. Not every song, every video having the same thing

@daesonesb — you keep going on about mainstream hip-hop, but I don’t think Morello was getting at that side. And to be honest, his mainstream group, Audioslave, isn’t doing the same shit RATM was doing, so who is he to talk?

I’m surprised Chuck D didn’t big up Paris, who has never budged, and wrote the last PE album!

Truth be told, though, protest music doesn’t turn into billboard status, which is what most of these niggas are looking for. I also feel weird when Cam calls himself Bush and shit… just sounds odd. Do I wish there was more protest music in the mainstream? Not really… I’m good with where things are right now. It’s not like the right people would listen to it anyways.

>>They can only respond to what they hear. True we need diverse types of hip hop but when all BET and the radio gives the kids is sex and bling that’s all they know.

I call Bullshit there too. The first wave of bling bling rappers all grew up in rap’s so called golden age. Diddy, Nelly, fuck even nas and jay z alot of the time… these cats all are infatuated with wealth and crystal champagne. They grew up with public enemy and rakim.

Your generation had the proper grounding, and you STILL fucked up!

I’d say hip hop has been much more unified in its political apathy than it has in its disdain of Bush.
