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.

CNN asks “Hip-Hop: Art or Poison?”

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.

King David - LIFE

The song that is probably going to be the best reggae anthem out of Trinidad & Tobago for 2007.

King David has created a beautiful track on an equally exceptional riddim by Studio 53.

Poetry in motion. Very VIVID images are set in one's mind when they hear the song. This is REAL REGGAE.

Kwesi... Jabari... Angelo... please don't water down this riddim with anymore tracks. Let King David have it all to himself.

Ministry Of Social Development, or anyone else for that matter, fork out the dinero to make a music video. The UN could use this too.

The song is a tragic reality of what everday life is for somepeople. To me it is a continuation to a previous offering "Live Here."
