I posted a clip from the new VH1 SALT N PEPA reality show on youtube.com/rockstarpolitics Some people posted comments that I want to share with you which ranged from good to ok. That begs the question, can we only be portrayed as "Hot Ghetto Mess" on TV, Music and Film? I like the Salt N Pepa & Spin Show, not because I have worked with them for over a decade, but because I have greatest respect for them and what they offer as an alternative image and lifestyle Entertainers for Females-the Female's version of Females, not the Fale's version of Females; think about it!!! It is the only way to counter some of the harsh criticism of rap today. The rap game needs salt N Pepa & Spin and others alike to balance and humanize talented rappers who make a living from it. It is important that we do not let Acts in the Industry get "stuck on stupid, be a one note band, sound like a broken record". We need rappers to be honest and show they do change, grow up, and act like adults! Trust me when I tell you most Artist are signed and considered train wrecks in the progress. The media follows just to witness your "Big death", and then pimp your box set like Elvis-you are worth more dead than alive. It is the same reasons they assign 24hr reporters to follow the President-just incase he gets shot! You can rage as a youth, but it is important to show that our situations, incomes, and lifestyles does change. LL, Salt N Pepa & Spin, JZ, Master P, and even Luke are perfect examples. We hurt ourselves when we don't show where we've been, and how far we've come. What do you think. post comments.
