If you're anything like the rest of us, you are probably sick and tired of much of the hip hop you hear on the radio. This is not to say that there aren't artists who produce quality music, but there are quite a few who show nothing less than complete disrespect for themselves, black women and the entire African American community. I'm a fan of hip hop, but not a fan of stupidity, especially when these images are teaching young brothers how to be black men.
So, in order for us to understand this issue a little better, I brought together a panel of experts on the topic. One of the experts is Chuck Creekmur, founder of Allhiphop.com, the largest hip hop website in the world. Secondly, there is Ayinde Jean-Baptist, a prominent activist. Jewell Allison is a spoken word artist and author of the book, "Stealing Peace." Finally, Queon Martin created a documentary called "Bridging the gap between history and hip hop." Enjoy!
