How many time can you put out a little kim. Nikki is a 2010 little kim. Nothing is really orignal about her. Little girls love her voice but she is not saying nothing positive.

Dr. Boyce why are you concern with future of Hip-Hop? What about the future of our young people and their education.
Also why are you not talking about the up coming election??And telling Black people to get out and vote. The republicans are saying they are getting back in because Blacks only vote in President election.
I am so disppointed in so call Black leader, Black Radio station and Black TV station. All you are concern is about Hip-HOP.

Other than making a few people rich Hip Hop has done nothing but encourage ignorance and stupidity in young black generation.

I have never heard that Republicans are going to win because Blacks will not vote. We represent about 13% of the pooulation of the U.S. Hispanics are now the largest Minority around 15-17%. Yes Blacks overwhelmingly voted for President Obama, but realistically many White folks voted him in. President Obama got over 50% of the vote. John Mccain 48%. To see so many millions of Non-Blacks vote for the son of an African Man suprised many..Including ME.

Please say it loud, David! I just hate everything that hip hop has evolved into. I swear if there was a study on black youth intelligence,self respect, dignity, etc... since the advent of the new millenium hip hop, you will probably find a steady decline. Its a disgrace from every angle. The performers are only interested in lining their pockets and staying on top regardless of the cost to their audience or the young minds of America and the world. They are like musical drug dealers. Ugh! I really can't find anything positive about it since the 90's.

Wake Up! Hip Hop is Big Business these days. The artists are only interested in promoting themselves to sell products. As long as somebody buys it, they'll sell it. If you don't approve the content/subject matter, speak with your dollars.(just don't buy it)
