    And for real.. people need to stop looking for rappers to be the ones who address social issues n make a difference...most these ? is rich n dont really care about the issues bc in alot of cases the "issues" dont reach them..its a different day...rap music is too mainstream n the gatekeepers are jewish n too corporate to let that "public enemy" type stuff get on radio n pop off like that..but it would b nice to see a group like that pop again

    Why are we as Black People still looking for someone to hold our hand ? Here is A list of people who either held our hand or gave up their life to move us forward. If someone needs to know what they said or did, there are tons of books to tell you all about them. No wonder these so called Black Celebrity's don't wanna say anything. I believe that they believe that Black People are still looking for someone to hold their hand. I picked ten people from the list to follow, to see how far in life I should be just from their Teachings, Lessons & Inspirations, and I Should be much further in life then I am. I made my struggle harder by not doing what I supposed to have done earlier in life. This is why we need to stop with this someone should speak-out or hold my hand ? , We can make our conditions better, but we choose not too.

    "I feel like when Public Enemy were doing "Fight the power" we as a culture had more power-now it feels hopeless"

    Miss Public ? is acting like she knows what kind of power Public Enemy had, while at the same time rightfully concluding that the culture lost its power. She cleary doenst understand that real hiphopheads see music like hers as one of the main reasons rap is killing itself or she wouldnt have tried to make here point like that. Dropping all the ? singles/songs she made clearly didnt help at all. And its not even that Nicki is trying to make Lupetopia like songs, so I could call her a pretentious but trying ? , like Lauryn Hills latests albums or something, she just straight wack in a true hiphop sense. I reclaim my first and probably best opinion on Nicky Minaj when she became a star: " Did that white old man behind the desk of desks just create a black lady gaga?"

    so you gonna pretend jay, diddy, and other male rap acts don't recieve any criticism on this forum in regards to selling out for monetary gain/white acceptance or ignoring issues that hurt the black community?

    alright then, carry on
