"I'm down with the original hip hopper's b4 lyrics, when it was break drancers, loud music in the parks, street fashion, etc.
So naturally I like KRS-ONE, who is the conscieousness of rap. During my Society years I didn't really listen to rap, but some songs I cound not resist listening 2 i.e. 'Brand New Flavor in Your Ears' (Craig Mack/ Bad Boy Family), 'Vapors' (Biz Markie), 'Cross Over' (Eric B - Rakim.)"
Word.......that was probably hip-hop's golden age (late 80's-early 90's). Yo, Rakim was like the next coming of Christ in hip-hop circles back in the day....
"So in answer to your question, Yes, i'm into rap music but I'm also into changing it's content. In the mean while, see rap for it's entertainment value and please don't try to live that life. And have an open ear to ALL TYPES OF MUSIC."

"Did you know Ja Rule was a JW? Well, not baptized, but I think his Momma is one."
Ja Rule WAS raised around JW's even though he never was baptized. Also, Biggie's mom IS a current JW. She goes to a congo in Bed-Stuy in Brooklyn. Her congo's name escapes me right now. Also, MC Lyte was raised around JW's as well.....

"My son (Lunatic the Messiah)recently won the Miller Genuine Draft Freshest MC contest here in Chicago. After that he opened for JaRule. He has a CD out and I'm praying he'll make it. Having gone to the KH when he was small has given him a real "different" slant in his lyrics, as you can imagine.
My favorite of his..."What Would God Do if He Were ME?""
Yo...I've heard your son. In fact they've played a couple of his joints during one of the late-night mix shows in Detroit. Hope he blows up.......
