I thought about this last night as I stayed up watching O because I couldn't get to sleep. There are some rappers who are pissed at her because she apparently aims her show at white/middle class America. They argue she should use her influence to further the message of hip hop, which is returning power to the "people". HUH!?!?!?

Wait a second...okay...That's a noble cause...But, why should Oprah focus the content of her show at an audience she's not even interested in reaching? Also, why don't those concerned rappers dedicate a song to stopping violence against women, or breast cancer awareness?


So, this begs the question: Who has more influence?

Oprah or Hip Hop in general?
