um...... yeah, its personal. when i "make it" i will not be like them. there is much more to what we do than "just music"..... the problem is, enough people dont take it personally. personally, i'm not out just to make it; i need to be concious of the things that i say and do because people are watching what you do, and there is always someone out there who patterns themselves after you. i'm sure cats like benzino even got groupies like that. i dont have plans on glorifying the things that have kept me and my family down; i plan on breathing and speaking life into this. i'm not some vegan freak who's out to save the world..... but damn someone's got to be a man and step it up... aint it funny? these guys want all the power, money, and recognition of stardom, but very few ever want the responsibility that it comes with. say what you want about parents raising their kids- anyone who is in a spotlight is a defacto role model, like it or not. if you are making millions doing what you love, how much does it really take to have a little more integrity? this is personal because there is much that can be done to change the things that are wrong with this place. me and you went on and on about the war, and my point still stands: these guys all live in america, they talk about all the government plots and conspiracies against minorities, how "the man" is trying to keep them down..... and here you are, glorifying those same things, only aginst your people yourself. so, oliver north and regan may have played a major role in the crack epidemic. for all arguments sake, letes say that bush himself is the supplyer. who is the one on the corner, slangin away? and who is the one rhymin about how hard he is, how he IS, not WAS, a hustler? who kills more black men than anyone else in this country? who kills more hispanics? the government doesnt need to do much anymore. people in hip hop do a pretty good job of keeping themselves down.
