As far as hip-hop goes, I don’t think hip-hop is in a bad state. Right now the entire industry is hurt. All sales are down of all genres. When hip-hop artists started declining in sales, all artists did. Right now the industry needs a fresh face with a different outlook on life. It’s actually why soulja boy is doing so well in my opinion. There is a need of new artists. All the artists from J. Lo to Jay-z are all the same people that have been doing this since the mid 90’s. Time for new blood. The only thing that hip-hop really needs is open ears to find that talent because most of the people in the game are only in it for themselves and they not trynna help who needs it the most.

@Miss Info…………..wuddup ma. What’s good on that mixtape idea i presented you with a few months back. You have to have some time now.

I’d love to ask them if they feel the Beatles are positive, or if the Grateful Dead are positive, then we can make a montage of lyrics like “drivin the train, high on cocaine” or “i get high with a little help from my friends.” Those are just two examples off the top of my head, I’m sure if I had a staff to go through tons of songs of material I could come up with some better shit.

Granted, these lyrics are fairly tame compared to some of Nas’s, but they are about using drugs, a reflection of the 60s-70s culture at the time – which is exactly what Nas and the rest of hip hop music are doing today.

Fuck off Fox. Ignorant ass motherfuckers.

EVERYTHING BELOW DIRECTED TO COMMENT 35:

josh….U IGNORANT SLUT….It’s obvious that ur a complete dumbass whose just spitting a bunch of rhetoric. Any1 can google the “stats” he came up with and see they’re grossly overstated/misconstrued and in some cases just flat out lies.

btw, didn’t a black female in VA just get raped and kipnapped for like a week by a family of [white people]? There goes your “a black woman hasn’t been raped by a white man is over 20 years theory.”

If you don’t like black ppl so much (presumably u don’t like any minority from the way you addressed this site)….WHY ARE U COMMENTING ON A HIP HOP BLOG??? Tell the truth Josh, you’re a Bill O’Reilly intern aren’t you…

Josh remember, after u attend ur Neo Nazi Skin Head meeting later this week, remember to tell all ur ppl’s how u “enlighted” a bunch of [black people] with your “stats”.

You my friend, are a penis with ears (d*ckhead)

1. The so called statistics are already inaccurate due to the fact that minorities get arrested and convicted for offences which white people receive a caution and face no charges. Eg Jenna 6.

2. Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson or 50 Cent, Jay Z, Russell Simmons and Diddy do not speak for the black race they express their own individual opinions on whatever the topic of discussion is.

3.Its common knowledge that police officers racially profile black people and concentrate more on prosecuting them for anything they can think of hence retaliation songs such as ,Fuk the police by NWA, Fight the Power etc.

4.The justice system is more lenient on white people who serve shorter times in prison and come out to re-offend, black people come out and spend the rest of their lives on probation.

6. Lets look at the remark that whites are more intelligent than blacks during slavery black people were not allowed to read or write, yet since the abolition of slavery, we win Nobel Peace Prizes for our contribution to literature, We are the most musical of any race dating back to our ancestors, I mean they used drums etc as a means of communication.

7. In terms of violence white people invaded Africa and partitioned a continent that lived in harmony. They created boundaries and divided a peaceful race creating conflict.

8. If we add up all the crimes commited by the white race, to blacks (slavery, discrimination, segragation, theft of resources and minerals, imprisonment etc) native Americans, Robbed their land and threw them into the reserves, same thing with the Aborigines of Australia, and compare that to the crimes commited by a small section of young black youth in gangs wht your saying doesn’t add up.

A majority of black people who have a light pigmentation blam it on,”I’m Black)
Even though my skins kind of light
That means my ancestors was raped by somebody white
(I’m Black)

Its also common knowledge that black people like coca cola shaped body women who have big bottoms, thick thighs and big breasts and long dark hair which are features not found on the flat bottom, nose job, boob job size 0 other. So your rape stats is fake.

So alot of black kids are born out of wedlock, white people have divorce court on lock.
