Where did hip hop go ya'll?

Was it lost in a sea of diamonds and gold?

Did it get sidetracked by the allure of easy women and extravagant cars?

Were the listeners dumbed down in the pursuit of fun?

Or is it much deeper than that?

Were we taught to hate the land that the diamonds were ripped from? So that we wouldn't care about the injustices committed?

Were our fathers incarcerated for petty crimes so little black girls could grow up without a positive male image? Only to search for that feeling of self worth in countless partners?

Were our boys fed a slanted image of manhood?

Why do we feel the need to prove ourselves worthy of the world? So much so that we wear our lives out the door.

Why do we take pride in ignorance? I know several people whose only reading habits are magazines and text messages.

Its sad that something that started so positive has become an instrument in the destruction of our people.

I compare current hip hop to a poisonous flower. While its outwardly attractive the weak minded will be poisoned by its backward teachings.

While I love it for showing a side of American life often ignored, there's no balance being broadcasted.

Round the Clock bullshit advertising sex, drugs, violence, and monetary worship.

I'm sick of the state of hip hop and more dissapointed in the state of Black America.
