joe budden openly and often talks about rehab and therapy in his songs and interviews.. that the writer is so shocked that rappers dont address this is suprising – PEOPLE and especially men dont deal with this- at all- no matter what their profession

Blame the real Rick Ross, the CIA George Bush SR. THE Reagan Administration. The Contra’s were funded by the CIA to help spread the crack epidemic throughout the US starting her out WEST in LA. If people are considered underclassed and treated less than inhumane the people are going to do what they know. It is very very sad but instead of looking down on these individuals we need to help them out. Talk to them. RAP is strictly entertainment but sometimes art imitates reality. I know alot of cats who sell drugs and actually become addicts of the death they sell. For example a former member of Cash money openly admitted that although he has stripes and was known as the man in the NO streets became addicted to the poison he was selling to inject into the fiends arms…

crack blacks, coke whites, herion bi-racial, e-pills whites, weed both races. Cross-cultured. The dumbing down of our society has begun. Sit back and enjoy the show. Let the rich get richer & the poor get poorer. Sit back and watch the fantastic scenes of LA’s Skid Row…

y’all can’t blame Tara for DMX’s crack addiction, or blame her for speaking about it. she’s not the first, and cats like Star and Buc Wild been doing shit like this for years and people don’t say shit.

DMX ain’t the only addict in hip hop, and this shit is a serious problem in our culture. And the fact that nobody seems man enough to admit they need detox (except for Dr Dre whenever that album comes, LOL) is some serious self-destruction.

cats wanna big up the Rick Ross’s of rap, but what about his whole community of crack customers? does he deserve props for that too?

it’s so deep that pointing fingers at people who really aren’t the problem is just a waste of time.

it’s time to tell the truth about people, so everyone can start healing.

The decreased level of human growth hormone is the primary reason for stunted healing in elderly individuals.

i wanna hear more about how “the government” put crack SPECIFICALLY in black communities. its always easier to say that, than to say that black people are more succeptable to addiction isnt it?

Whether some one is more susceptible to an addiction is really irrelevant to the issue at hand. The government supposedly controls the US air space and ports so how can you not hold them accountable for all drug epidemics in this country?

The most significant aspect of this piece is a miss print in my opinion. I agree, plenty of “rappers” need rehab, intervention or whatever else you think that can restore what little soul they didn’t pawn to enter the rap industry. Basically, lost souls headed for the grave in waves and trying to take our youth with them. My problem is you said hip-hop has a substance abuse problem and nothing could be further from the truth. Hip-Hop does not have a substance abuse problem or any other type of problem for that matter. This is just another instance of main stream america getting rap music and Hip-Hop misconstrued.

Big Jake, you ignorant fool, it would be more clear and concise if you simply would type “KKK 4 Life”, then hit submit comment.

The CIA is the specific wing of the government responsible for introducing crack to poor black neighborhoods. Like Papoose spit, we’ve got “government generals gradually generating genocide.” Just look at Katrina. Just look at AIDS.

Or would you care to cite a specific scientific study concluding that black americans are more susceptible to addiction to support your “theory.”

I think WHOA is a crackhead, himself. In my 23 years on Earth and 2 years on Marijuana, I’ve never seen a more incoherent stain of babble than this: “it not like nigga really read u gay ass garbage u thorw out here.” I’d beat the fuck out of an ignorant brother like you while reading you the definition of stupidity from the Webster’s Dictionary, then ask you if you would like the word in a sentence. The lady on the Tribe CD says you’re not less of a man for going to rehab and you’re not more of a man for skipping it. Kids, take note…

how is Tara putting DMX on blast? She isn’t the one putting that jig on BET in a reality show… HE PUT HIMSELF ON BLAST!

And I still think race plays a part in rehab and shit.
