just to play the critics advocate...Being that you seem to be a better educator than rapper and you are a teacher, would you consider yourself a rapper that educates the youth or a professional teacher that still raps? I'll be the first to say and in no way is this a diss, I respect you more as a teacher... because that means your making a sacrifice and not trying to use the kids a claim to fame.

A well put together article. I hope it sheds some light to those who stereotype rap as just selling drugs, gangbanging and fuckin hoes n calling them bitches....

Congrats on raising over 10k to schools that could really use any money. I read an article last week where the state wants to cut 5 billion from education alone.

I've been teaching for 8 years rapping since 1990 putting tapes and cds since 1993,I droped a kids cd Learning In Motion sold over 5,000 units didn't reach out for any press XXL did a interview with me for that one, all press I've been getting for the Stay In School has came to me,I put my album on hold for 4 years to do the kids stuff not for fame but cause it was the right thing to do,I guess I'm a teacher who still enjoys rapping hope that answers your questions if your question. If there was no press at all I would still be doing stuff for the kids and my own music. Always, have and always will those that really know me know I xame into the game with 2 live crew touring with them doing songs with them learned a lot seen a lot. And on a side note I have not made a dime off the kids stuff matter fact I spent over $4,000 of my own money for various things with the kids project
