[...] Suprised? Confused? As Willie D said on the show not too long back, somebody didn’t get the memo. [...]

And damn, I can’t remember if I thanked the guests as well. Shouts to everyone involved in the production of this thing.

Damn. Sorry I’ve been out of contact for a minute – I promise I’ll eventually get to all of the emails (if you sent one in the last week or so, I’m not ignoring you – just mad busy). On the real though, for everyone that supported on this one and added to the conversation, thanks. There’s still a lot more to be said on the subject, and if you all keep listening, I’ll keep making em…

And as I said in the original post, there may be a couple radio stations that are looking at putting this feature into rotation. If you are a program director, please get at me and we’ll get it moving on your station as well – college, community, basement, whatever.

and Mr Underground – that interview is dead! got an alternate link?

watch for the next episode…

This was a incredible episode DEX! Keep up the good work. I will re-air this one on our show. Much respect for broadcasting the truth and having passionate guests to articulate the subject! Im most definitely wit Willie D on this one. If you ban hip hop today that will not stop women from being h***, and it wont stop the killing and it dam sure wont cure racism. They use emotional issues such as this to separate us. So far its working. I ask humbly to everyone that reads this to do what you can to educate youth and anyone that lacks a proper understanding to a situation. Pointing fingers never solves anything, although responsibility has to be acknowledged for some of hip hops ignorance..

Dex,

Great show man, loved it.

To weigh-in, I am VERY concerned for HIP HOP,… this is what got me thinking about this years ago before Tower Records folded…How come I cannot find my favorite artists in the stores? Censorship, (and like the interviewees said, it’s not censorship of cursing and the “n” word), it is censorship of truly ARTISTIC and intelligent hip hop. Dumile (MF DOOM) is probably one of the best known “underground artists” today, and really, no one knows who he is.

The other side of this is I for one, cannot BELIEVE anyone stands up for the misogynistic, demoralizing lyrics in most of the heavily distributed rap today…Art, REAL ART isn’t about glorifying BS, it’s about conveying feelings and reflecting society in interesting ways…Yeah Willie D is right evil won’t leave the world if we clean up rap, still doesn’t mean rap needs to be dirty…the fact that he said “Clean up rap” means we can DEFINE rap as dirty…that should tell you something right there.

Anyway, man, lot of emotions stirred up listening to that show…I’ma need to go listen to ep 56 just to chill out…

one love ya’ll keep the dialogue going…sorry for rambling.

What more is there to say? Excellent, positive show. Being a GenX’er growing up listening to music of the “Golden Era” and having stopped watching TV 6 years ago because of the ridiculous media portrayals of our people, I’m excited that a kind of new “Renaissance” is already here – basically thriving from the instant-access technology and the explosion of the Internet as distribution mechanism. This is a special time, though, for those in their 30s to start connecting and communicating with our young folk in their 20s and teens about what real, positive change can mean – expressed through music, education and activism.

Yea nice one dex. It just seems to me that rap isn’t given enough weight where freedom of expression is concerned. People are always bleeting on about how art shouldn’t be censored – nobody would think to ban offensive language in a book or a film, and the depiction or glorification of crime, particularly violent acts is positively reveered as something of artistic expression, which far outweighs censorship. Why is Hip Hop not treated as a legitimate art form?

wow dex. been following your podcast for some time and alwys dug the music. so glad that someone is not only bumping the music but is talking a stand to shed light on it as well. as i have watched the music that shaped my youth (43 years stranded on this planet)turn into something else as it shapes my childrens youth i have always been on the lookout for things to show them “the balance” that once was to counteract “the hype” that now is. thank you

Damn you’re on your shit. Great ep. So honest..it’s about time someone got real and broke it down. Educate the kids.

Probably the deepest podcast I’ve ever heard, man. Thought-provoking, shocking, informative, just great all around.

Willie D’s final comments were chillingly accurate in explaining that all the ills of the world won’t magically disappear through the power of censorship/responsible artistry: “…because it’s not about rap…”

Also of note, D-Brad’s eerily simple summary of the end result of BET’s manipulation at the hands of Viacom: “…y’all are gettin’ screwed as fuck…” Christ.

But other than that, an overall enlightning ‘cast, keep up the good work.

Peace.

EXCELLENT show!
I really like how you ended with what Willie D said.

Now:
“And funny thing you should mention Gil Scott-Heron too considering whatâ€™s in the next episodeâ€¦”

Awwww damn..looking forward to this episode..I am a HUGE GSH fan. Saw him live some years back. Good show! He’s done several of my ALL-TIME favorite songs: “Speed Kills”, “The Middle Of Your Day”, “A Sign Of The Ages”, “Or Down You Fall” and “The Needle’s Eye”

Peace,

Greg

for the better!

No doubt! Yeah, anything you can do to spread this around is much appreciated – more people need to hear about this! And funny thing you should mention Gil Scott-Heron too considering what’s in the next episode…

I think he highlights some important issues. (Sorry this is in two parts)

By: mr underground

mr underground — Mon, 07 May 2007 16:57:45 +0000

Yeah! Yeah! I was hoping for someone to highlight this because it’s important and I’m glad you were the one to do it it Dex. By the way, if you get a chance, go on to Youtube and search for Gil-Scott Heron on Hard Talk
