Well I for one, as a young(ish?) Black man who has devoted my life to representing hip-hop, I hope to counteract such ignorance with each of my videos at illdoctrine.com.
And since I'm also a PodTech partner, whose videos appear alongside 1938media's on PodTech's "entertainment" page, I specifically posted my latest video to counter the bilious idiocy of the "technigga" clip: http://www.illdoctrine.com/2007/08/krs_one_how_to_see_your_future.html Didn't want to give that video any further publicity by acknowledging it, so I tried to offer a more genuine example of what hip-hop can look like, and what the young people (Black and otherwise) who represent it can sound like. For the record, I've met Loren Feldman and he seemed to be good people, and I usually enjoy his videos. But he made a grievous error on this one, and the ensuing "rehab" schtick does nothing to justify it. If anything it just adds insult to injury, as he maneuvers to evade accountability for his hateful provocation. Such an ugly and silly game to play, like kicking someone and then telling them they're stupid for saying "ouch". jay smooth illdoctrine.com --- stbdpittsburgh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Gena mentioned the following point: > > > There will be other videos like this.
