What You Feel about: 'My Black/WHite Rhyme'

Tear in my eye
nothin inside
Blood in my eye
hollow inside
thorn in my side
White as the lie
Black as the light
they live by
Static stride
Foolish as wise.
Lost as my mind
loud as silent
Love ain't blind
blue ain't violet
Didn't read the small print by signed it

THis streaM of ConsiouSness don't make sense,
just OxymOrOnic statements

What You Feel about: Hip Hop

So, a friend of mine was conducting a questionnaire on hip-hop, video's in particular. Wyclef Jean says "black on black crime needs to stop, y'all can't blame it on hip-hop."
I on the other hand, was thinking about this thing, and i reckon that this form of music came from something much purer than what it is today. Think back to the Sugar Hill Gang, Run DMC, De la Soul etc. The mantle has not, in my opinion, been carried very faithfully; ask anyone who knows little about Rap music what images it provokes in their minds. This is not a thouroughly tried and tested statement, but, the likely answer is: 'vulgarity, profanity, concetedness' etc.
All this was inspired by my friend, and Kanye's new video 'Diamonds are forever' (a must see master-peice) which brings hip-hop back to being a healing, insightive music.

"i know my streets i know my sounds, i know my beats how i get down; i take my steps in leaps and bounds...what's realer than hip-hop?!" ( 'Royce da 5'9")
