When was the last time you seen 50 cents or Bobby Brown, etc.in the Board room? I know I know before you guyz say it...It's up to the parents, yeah, that's true. But I just wish we had more of a POSITIVE image out there for our black youth to see oppose to the *hard thug*.
I am just saying that if they could see BOTH sides, then I wouldn't have any beef. The only person that I can think of that has BOTH streets smarts ANNDDD can conduct a business meeting is Will Smith...I am sure that there are others (oh yeah and Puff too), but I feel we need more than just the few that we have.
My husband is a Business man, BUT can ALSO handle himself in the streets.

I agree with you 100%, however it's a sad state that we are in where the image of "thugs" out number "nice/good" guys. I have dated and know many positive black men who fit both persona
, however, they are not in the media's eye.
I do believe that there are men, behind the scenes, who work for all these artists you've mentioned, that the media should show, however they don't. Like in MTBII, their manager and lawyer, are buisness men, who have street sense and that is just ONE example. They are out there, we just need to find a way to bring them to the limelight.
