"Hip Hop will simply amaze you Craze you, pay you Do whatever you say do But black, it can't save you " - Dante Smith
WHAT IT IS...
Hip Hop is how I define myself. Hip Hop did not start in the late 70's. It started long ago, undefined, from several points around the globe culminating into what we now call Hip Hop. Hip Hop is a way, a feeling, a thought. This blog reflects my Hip Hop.

The follow-through...
Regardless of the outcome, after we've all voted and reminded our friends and enemies to vote, and worn buttons, and placed bumper stickers, and flooded Pennsylvanians and Floridians with phone calls, and planted yard signs, and e-mailed to death, and debated over debates, and laughed with SNL, and blogged, and have become mesmerized by Zoe Kravitz, and have used the words maverick and change more than we ever thought we would...we still have to DO THINGS as a country. One man can make a difference. But it takes a nation of millions to facilitate real change.
I thank everyone who's voted. It's an important act. But I'm also asking that you don't stop at the polls and expect good things to fall into your laps. We, all of us, must participate together for change and a better tomorrow. Let's follow-through so that the next president, eight years from now, has a hard act to follow...
One love.

Hey Russ,
We cannot expect to acheive anything if we believe that receiving handouts is the means to the end. NO!! We must educate ourselves and our children especially if we expect to continue to move forward. We cannot continue to degrade women and glorify violence if we expect to make any real change for our future.
