Miss Quoted
Dear brother,
In your poem here, you write: "I think what the ESSENCE of what hip hop is about; I mean, I think what you people can attest to it."
I listened to your words and let them take me to your point, as much as I could hear it. I did not however hear in those words what this essence is.
For me, this culture can be positive, but I have a hard time accepting it fully because I also see a very negative, very harsh reality in Hip Hop culture; that it is also associated with gangsters, drug use, violence and things that are not socially productive.
I agree with you that everything "Hip Hop" doesn't mean this, but there is an association and that association does cause others to think twice.
I would love to hear your opinions on how Hip Hop particularly could help native American society today and how you'd propose to charge that cause.
You see, I guess I too in a way am into the essence of things, like you claim. I just have different issues to look at I suppose.
My thanks for your thoughts.
Walk well.
