Bill O Reilly – Racist – Oh really? Jena 6, What Happened?

America is still racist but I don’t think Bill O Reilly is the main reason, and this is why.
Bill O Reilly is getting blasted all over the hip hop community (hhc) and the media, including but not limited to Media Matters, Cnn, and New York Times.
I find it ironic that a man who was trying [...]

Hip Hop – Our Past Haunts Us – Rap Music

Hip Hop surely isn’t dead, but it’s got mental problems to it’s core.
I recently read a statistic that shocked me (no it wasn’t the amount of records Kanye West sold)
Instead it was the amount of sales that “Public Enemy’s – It Takes A Nation To Hold Us Back” sold in one particular week last year. [...]

Hip-hop all about lyricists?

Hip-hop all about lyricists?

I decided to write a short column today to bridge the gap between Lyricists and bubble gum rappers.
First of all. I would define lyricist as someone who puts a lot of effort into the songs they are making. Rappers who use metaphors, wordplay, and great story telling, do it to make their raps more creative.

Don Imus Isn’t Hip-hop

The man writing this article is not your average thug, pimp, or crack dealer.
Actually I am a white male from Maine with deep thoughts, strong convictions, and even Morals!
Hip-hop has done it again. Yes. They have been blamed for this latest scandal with “alleged racist” Don Imus.
In my opinion, if alleged doesn’t imply racist than [...]
