A number of rappers and music industry people are vegetarians and some or people down with them eat raw.
It's a health and culture thing. Many people with strict religous beliefs become vegetarians cuz it's easier not having to avoid certain meats. Some choose it as a health option. Look at all the unhealthy people in the industry and in your community. Some changes in diet could be helpful.
Not sayin that raw is the way to go cuz i for one damn sure ain't givin up eatting meat. But for some people it could be a good alternative to an unhealthy life style.
You should applaud Murder Dog for doin an article like this.
What's next people hating because they have articles on Dance Hall?

Coldblooded, you didn't even read the article I guess. They make it sound like if you don't eat raw foods, then you're going to die. Man's been eating cooked food for thousands of years and we're still here. Raw food is just another fad diet that will go away when all the stupid Hollywood actors stop doing it.
I read the fucking article. I'm still not eatting raw. But i also think it's a good thing for them to talk about.
Since some of the people that make the MUSIC, own the MUSIC, buy the MUSIC, listen to the MUSIC choose to eat only raw foods it's a viable thing to talk about in the mag. It's a life style/culture magazine. Music is part of that life style/culture, but so is food.
Look at all the health conditions that plague the people in hip hop and the people in our communities. Anything that could help people improve their health and live a better life applies and should be talked about by a hip hop mag, because it helps to keep their consumers alive.

Good point cold, but murder dog fails to mention ANY of that in those articles. Granted they're excerpts from that book, but at least print the excerpts and ALSO interview some rappers that have adopted this lifestyle, discuss some of the points you brought up, basically relate it to the culture the magazine covers.
A good example of this is an issue of the source a few years back where they had an article on being a vegetarian and rappers who are vegetarians. They did exactly what I said above.

Well, far be it from me to tell someone what they can and can't do with their personal life, but yeah, those articles make it sound like vegetarians have halos over their heads...If "cooked food is poison", then why are we all still here? And yeah, Nick, this has nothing to do with music. I don't know what MURDER DOG's problem is--nowadays, they treat Bay underground Rap in general like the mentally retarded nephew that the family locks in the attic and doesn't talk about w/ other family members...
I think vegetarianism is OK for people who really want to do it--if that's your thing, cool (although I'm a pretty big meat eater myself). But it's like religion: it shouldn't be argued or forced upon people. People like what they like, and what they don't like, they don't like...
PEACE!

Indeed they do; that is also a cultural/life style element, yet some people believe that smoking is a hazard to a person's health and there are warnings printed on tobaco products warning of said dangers. At the same time some people believe that eating meat or cooked food for that matter is a hazard to a person's health yet there aren't warnings printed on your meat packages, billboard adds that encourage you to avoid fast food, stay away from the chicken fried chicken, etc etc, to warn people of these hazards.
I agree totally.
To add on to what i said above, this would probably have been a better way to discuss the issues rather than printing excerpts directly from the book. An interview with the authors and a discussion of the book and the author's positions would have been a more effective way to present the information.
Reguardless of how they presented it, i still believe it's a relevant issue to discuss.
Maybe they should divote a section to health related issues that's done in a more journalistic fasion, rather than just re-printing a book.
