Steve Harvey is not a voice for Hip Hop. He is not a voice for the younger generation. His opinion is not one that I check for, so when Mr. Harvey makes a comment about Hip Hop, I feel it’s my duty to check it out. In this clip, Steve Harvey addresses the lack of ‘cool’ in Hip Hop, the way our women are treated, and the style of young Black men today. Does he have any valid points, or is this another old school dude trying to bash our culture? You be the judge…..
“This was created for us, by us and was to be kept for our children and our grandfather. It’s something that, you don’t have to be corporate, you don’t have to wake up and go to work. It could be about fashion, it could be about music, it could be about Spoken Word, it could be about being a deejay, it could be about writing books, it could be about being a fine artist. All that shit, it was all ours. Nobody could tell us what to do with it. That’s another fascination – where is that in the world? Something that’s created by a people for the people. And I’m not saying for corporate widespread, “we gotta be accepted.” Very few people [in the early days of hip hop] wanted to be accepted by corporate America because we had our own income and our own income status. It wasn’t like you had to be a billionaire to be successful. If you was doing it and you was doing it right you was successful. That was the allure – I could be who I wanted to be.” ~Schooly D
Wale is dope as hell. Here is an older video. It’s an amazing track! His storytelling abilities are like none other. He’s be around for awhile.

“School is like a 12 step brainwash camp
They make you think if you drop out you aint got a chance
To advance in life, they try to make you pull your pants up
Students fight the teachers and get took away in handcuffs
And if that wasn’t enough, then they expel y’all
Your peoples understand it but to them, you a failure
Observation and participation, my favorite teachers
When they beat us in the head with them books, it don’t reach us
Whether you breakdance or rock suede addidas
Or be in the bathroom with your clique, smokin reefer
Then you know they math class aint important ‘less you addin up cash
In multiples, unemployment aint rewardin
They may as well teach us extortion
You either get paid or locked up, the pricipal is like a warden
In a four year sentence, mad niggas never finish
But that doesn’t mean I couldn’t be a doctor or a dentist”
Dead Prez always spoke the truth that’s why they didn’t have the mainstream success like they
should have. If you’ve never heard of them do some homework. These dudes are the truth!
