Hip-Hop & CNN which one is Art, News or Poison?

RAPproject.tv asks “CNN: News or Poison?”

This has been around for a couple of weeks now but I finally decided to post as I posted a vid on YouTube featuring a new outit from Malabar, Arima who are doing Hip-Hop. When I saw them they raised my eyebrows cause it sounded good but I can't stand the same topics all the time... I guess that's mainstream and why SOCA irritates me.

Chuck D addresses one of the problems within Hip-Hop and it really is more than that alone. This interview was a response to one he had with CNN and I think some people took offence.

Paula Zahn made some pertinent comments, things that I do understand but as a journalist blanket statements should not be made.

This is along the lines of my rant on Tempo's Badness Outta Style.

Its all about responsibility.
