Right - because it doesn't take any real thought to say [w]itch this and [w]itch that. Or N this or N that, etc. etc. etc. It takes some thought and some intelligence to talk about something of substance and something that affects our community.
I think someone may have mentioned this, but there was a documentary on a couple of weeks ago about hip hop (I think it was on PBS) - very good expose on how far the genre has dropped. . . there were guys outside a record studio that were spitting verses about something conscious and then said that the record execs don't want to hear that because it doesn't sell. What baffles me is why someone would think to themselves, I am going to sacrafice a part of me for the green to spout ignorance, instead of doing my own thing cutting some cd's and promoting myself . . .I know that is easier said than done- but why sell yourself and your integrity . . .
