We have had discussions in the past talking about movements and unifying. On paper its a good thing but it will never work. Im mR Anti -Movement probably because the little i have learned is at the end of the day everyone is out for themselves, and i aint mad artists are responsible for their careers, but not many if any artists is willing to play the back ground while the movement takes place. I would have to agree race plays a certain part in what is going on, but its not exclusive to the siccness. When it comes to these boards entertainment is at the top of the agenda, because you have noticed the threads which get alot of views is the ones with some sort of beef, or drama...I will be the first to admit i have contributed my fair share, and I try to cut down, though some responses make these efforts difficult.
Whether some want to admit it or not..rap is an African American Art. Artists who are not black have always had a challenge in this game, but for good reason...people was scared it would get commercialized and some what ruined..although with the soulja boyz etc it went down that path anyways.
