I know that you can not speak for the hip hop community as a whole but if you are a contributor to the movement, in other words if you own or listen to thier music, then you have as much say so as them.

Because Jay-Z will do whatever he needs to in order to make money, even if it means keeping his people down.

Have you heard of true hip hop and not just the commercial b.s. True hip hop artists are saying a lot of positive things about the community. Cats like Talib Kweli, Common, The Roots,
(check out http://www.okayplayer.com)
Jurrasic 5, De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, Eryka Badhu, Floetry, De Angelo, Dialated Peoples, India Arie, Mos Def, Jill Scott, Jean Grae, etc... Hieroglyphics
I've been on that one for a long time.....oh year KRS one ....
You see my boy Xzibit doin his thing on Pimp My Ride
You see Beyonce on that Live8 for africa
You see Mary J for that inspi(red) HIV Aids
You heard that song "What's going on" after Sept.11
The hip hop community has done more than a lot of people just not the whole hip hop community -
There is a lot of hip hop rappers that are doing bad things as well but lets not say all of them are like that.
C'mon b-boys breakin
popin an lockin, no stopin
graf artist bombin the ish out of dat lonely wall
positive vibes make me feel alive
Trl is not just rockin but also head bobin
More movies out now days
cuz actors see how hungry some cats be for the spot light
dj' ing was my thing back in high school
we dipped in the pool and acted like fools
hip hop gave a way for many people to have careers and it still does, you see those silly people tryin to flow freestyle but they aint got it though
yo , hip hop is and will be but i'm on that positive vibe , and i feel alive - chek it- word
