well the few lines in my post that i think i might need to requote here...

" think the music itself can truely not contain a seed to bring down an entire race.

I believe the industry that controls the portrayal of individuals in music videos is whats responsible for the negative stigma."

the industry that portrays black people as drunken weed toking pimps and ho's (snoop and lil kim come to mind) well.
they are just as guilty as the artist.

what they need is a movement towards that of intelligent hip hop, without the degredation, stereotypes, disrespect to how women are portrayed. vulgarities im all for free speech but I like to be able to play my music wherever without worrying about getting fired or fined for public indecency if its in a public area (BBQ's etc..)

I dunno, just my 50 cents (har dee har)
