Rappers = scum of the earth, dregs, that stuff they scrape off the underside of gas station toilet seats. How can they be influenced for better things? Is it even possible? It’s really quite simple.

I'm starting to really not like Al Sharpton. One of the guys over at <a href="http://highbridnation.highbrid.com/?p=1862" rel="nofollow">Highbrid Nation</a> made some really good points about Al and what he is truly trying to do when he appears on TV every other minute. I just wish the media would stop going straight to him every time there is an issue affecting black people. Dont look for Sharptons help. I’m starting to really not like Al Sharpton.

The artists absolutely do have the personal <em>right</em> to compose their songs. What he fails to realize is that he, as a producer and promoter, has a larger <em>responsibility</em> to society. But responsibility never resulted in any <strong>BLING</strong>, methinks. Alas, Mr. Simmons is correct about one thing. The artists absolutely do have the personal right to compose their songs.

They have away of coming back to bite you. In the aftermath of the VT incident it just makes people like him seem even more selfish and ignorant.
