What they drinking anyway? Lol at Nore wanting to sneak Criminal Minded in his cell when he was in jail.
It's interesting too, cause I know Big Pun had a lot of respect for KRS too. Nice to hear Kool Herc too, how is Herc's health now?
Interesting analogy in terms of the fathers, cousins, children etc. In terms of the Bam shyt, in my opinion anyone who sexually abused anybody needs to be thrown under the bus because it's a human rights violation, however it's hard to know the truth, cause are there forces and individuals that would love to take Bam down? Absolutely, I even noticed a few things before these specific allegations that came up trying that seemed trying to discredit Bam, so he must have enemies/people that want his downfall, and of course for the positive things he seemed to do within the culture many people wouldn't like too. And people certainly DO lie about abuse, this is 100 percent fact, for many reasons, to promote something, for attention, to discredit someone, for money, mental illness, there's countless reasons, not talking about these recent accusers specifically because I'd have to really dig deep into it to form a concrete opinion, but any abuse can't be tolerated, specifically of children, I have noticed a lot of false information and things being said though, and also a section that is joyous about these accusations and celebrating and revelling in it. That is wrong because at the end of the day if it is true children were abused which is not something to be happy about, and if it's false someone's charecter is being unfairly dragged through the mud which is a terrible thing also. So I hope the truth whatever it is comes to the light and then things can be dealt with accordingly. It must be a challenge for people that know Bam too, because that's someone they cool with. Because you don't wanna condone something wrong yet also you don't want to throw someone you cool with under the bus if it's false.
Hip Hop will maintain ultimately regardless because it's bigger than any sole individual, no matter what their contributions are, it's a global huge culture, so if 1 person is fukked up (or not) there's still countless others who aren't that are sincere.
