On the heels of Proof's death, a study released last week by the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation — a nonprofit public health research group — suggested that young people who listen to rap music are more prone to alcohol and drug use and aggressive behavior.
Its always funny to me when people get to talkin about what Oprah doesn't do for black people. Who around here is with Oprah everytime she gives money to a cause and writes a check? Oprah puts black males through Morehouse, is that not giving back to blacks? Who else was building whole neighborhoods after Katrina, but Oprah. Come on, every dime of Oprah's money does not have to help black people, at some point we have to be responsible for helping ourselves.
And 50 cent talkin about Oprah, get the hell out of here. Who really cares what 50 thinks about Oprah, i'm sure she doesn't. Most of the time when Oprah has stars on her show they have done or are doing something noteworthy, maybe if 50 was doing more then usin his "gangsta" to sell records somebody might actually consider having him on their show. But honestly I can't blame Oprah for giving rappers a hard time, someone should. At some point it is rappers need to begin thinking about the message they send out.
cosigns completely... you beat me to the punch with alot of this stuff.
Personally i think 50 caters to white people... he's prolly on his hands and knees doing what Eminem wants him to do now. When Oprah makes an album talkin about murking nucca's or movie about the latter then we can talk about her being detrimental to our people. If anything her white audience is paying for a lot of us to do big things because Oprah is definitely the philanthropist especially when it comes to our people.
