Yesterday, on Twitter , Charlamagne and I got into a debate about Gucci Mane and what’s wack and what’s not. His point to me is that Gucci Mane is a reflection of society and what they want to hear. If he’s wack than why is it so-called intelligentsia doesn’t make $60K per show? He went on about his marketing skills and such, all of which are very valid points.

My point is that while Gucci Mane is an entertaining Ninja Turtle, there’s no balance in the game. There’s an influx of constant buffoonery that is pushed onto the masses by big corporate machines with absolutely no conscience.  As a radio personality, I had a boss tell me that no one “cares about bettering themselves”.

I’m not saying that all I listen to is Kirk Franklin and Donny Osmond, but I believe our people; the same people who built the pyramids and built America, the people who created the Blues and Jazz and Hip-Hop, are capable of appreciating more than one aspect of our culture.
