I blame hip-hop

While I obvioulsy believe that there is a need for Hip Hop to change and "return to the high lyrical content of the late eighties." I also strongly believe that the Imus situation was yet again another example of how the white supremacist media led frenzy turned us (Blacks) yet again to fighting one another. I'm sure many of you have been following the Al Sharpton vs NY Oil debate and now 50 cent and Master P beef. UNITY and CHANGE need to take place so that we can we can move forward and address the issues that have kept the fabric of this country from ever being solid.
