Just to play devil’s advocate, she may have a point, but point taken out of context by this article. Personally, I think how she meant it was with regard to the glorification of drugs, drug selling and irresponsible spending (to name a few), as some of the “rappers” listed in the article often refer to in their songs. I get it, it’s entertainment. By the same token, the “ballers” which I believe she was referring to are not ball player, but the ballers hustling in the street corners with mostly no education, disregard for lives or those communities; this article seems to be a bit bias in my humble opinion.

My men Ameer-Hasaan Walton and B Easy, for example, college cats wanting to ball in the game are different then most mentioned in the article. With the exception of Diddy and maybe Common, I don’t know who else in that list went to college, aside from the “ball player” who play ball in college. So the rappers and baller she must’ve been rendering to are the “STREET” rappers and ballers, and I agree with her message.

You’ll hardly ever get a “rapper” or “baller” talk much about careers, 401K, health and life benefits! That doesn’t sell record or arenas, but “fantasies” do! I don’t think the majority of today’s youth fantasize about hard work or dedication in school, but rather fast cars and fancy sh!t.

I feel like he’s also saying that if being an entertainer isn’t something to aspire to, then why is it treated as such by the same politicians? They’ll invite entertainers to the center stage, but not black intellectuals, by them doing that they’re saying one thing and practicing another.

By God’s grace we are able to change.
Lets preach or if you will rap love , respect, respect and respect for everyone regardless of race, gender or religion.

I grew up in a very urban environment. The temptations are there. Youngsters if you have a $6 an hour McDonalds job or a quote “business hustle opportunity that in 2 days will pay a whole summer of your Mcdonalds job ” . Mcdonalds is the answer.
Get your hustle on with a real pay. You will grow stronger from the INSIDE .

Why ? EASY MONEY = YOU BEING CONTROLLED.
Where have we heard “yeah , I am gonna get mine and then get out “

TIME TO GET REAL !!!!!

What is a baller ?? Someone who thinks he has or may have a lot of cash in a very short time frame.
Rappers with money… 95% of rappers have absolutely no money !!!!!!!!!!
The ones that claim and grandstand probably knock about 75% off. People with the real bucks don’t need to talk about it.
if YOU THINK YOUR GONNA MAKE IN THE DRUG GAME YOUR NOT !!!!!!!
You are nothing more than a mule ; an expendable piece of SHIT for the one in one hundred thousand guy ; who has already insulated himself because he has the money to pay off the politicains and law enforcement and has provided himself private security. This same guy will eventually probably not make it either.
60 % of NBA player go broke 5 years after the games up.

90 % of the real mafia La Cosa Nostra ends up in one of three places : dead , incarcerated or broke. The other 10 % ends up in WITSEC. If you dont’ know WITSEC google the slang.

Peace,

Nick

@mstee Yaaaassss! If she was really concerned about Black kids being “ballers and rappers” she wouldn’t have even contemplated saying that Beyonce is a great role model for her daughters. Who is she kidding?

Let’s be real, why wouldn’t black kids want to be ballers and rappers? They have done way more for the black and inner city youth than Obama. Under Obama poor and working class people have suffered greatly. He has not given back to anyone except wall street. At this point in the game I would want my kid emulating talib kweli or krs one over the president. I don’t know of a single baller or rapper with as much blood on his hands as this president.

Kool Herc is not the father of Hip Hop.

KRS ONE is.

Back in the 70s Lawrence was captured in an original Herc tag.

If you not an MC ur not Hip Hop.

Kidney stones… Real Hip Hop doesnt get kidney stones… Or die of cancer…

Can guarantee you that the Teacha is in betta health then an 18yr old man and only gettin better.

I wish Herc nothin but the best.

Much Love

The point is, the Obamas made the same tired, stereotypical speech before an audience of BLACK COLLEGE GRADUATES. Is there no message for the ones who DO aspire to be a biochemists, engineers, teachers or whatever? You aint got ish to say to them when they graduate and are still likely to be unemployed with their college degrees and school debt because of the economy and racial discrimination? Our kids don’t always aspire to be these other things because of lack of exposure. But don’t tell me the Obamas had to give the same tired message about pulling up your pants and stop being lazy because of all of the “other” black people that will possibly hear these speeches. They were deliberately condescending and dismissive of the hundreds of students at those two universities who worked their asses off to buy into the system. No message for them? That’s bananas. And it should be unacceptable. Stop making excuses for the anti-black black president! Yall got more excuses for him than a little bit. Geez!
