Rap soon looked more like white America’s Home Shopping Network than black America’s CNN - High Dro

Dude, are u kiddin me..... everythin u sed in there had this huge undertone of "hip hop was so great and stuff until the white people started listenin to it" .... or is it just coincidental that the first time u mention the downfall of hip hop, u also mention the introduction of white suburban listeners in the same paragraph???

.... and i bring up the thing about african americans (the race thing) because the time period u were speakin about (70s-90s) was wen rap was almost exclusively performed by blacks and you only refer to black artists in ur excerpt, so my assumption that the "gun totin" u were speakin of was related to African Americans, should be fully warranted...

I sed that ur thing was very well written man, and maybe it deserved an A, but i was just pointin out that u seemed very biased and shoulda atleast MENTIONED that the use of violence was not only in relation with white kids bein introduced and to entertain them (or was hopin u had mentioned it somewhere in ur paper).... cuz even wen writing an opinion paper, mentionin the other side can be used very greatly to ur advantage.... Especially since the violence was used to appeal to the black ghetto's of the world because accordin to many of those inhabitants, a gun and a dime bag showed "credibility," that ur livin the "culture" as that was and is a major part of it throughout its lifetime....... why do u think NWA went around yellin "Fuck the Police" when only one of them (Eazy-E) had a criminal record???.... (and Eazy-E's charge wasnt even a felony, and i dont believe he was convicted either)
