Failure of Intent vs. Impact

He wrote exactly in the Whitlock style. I don't trust him. I wish I did. He is no Riley. Riley understood both perspectives. Whitlock doesn't and there is a difference. There is a problem with urban violence. This problem has existed for more than 20 years. The crack epidemic was the fuel because it allowed all of the guns to get into the hands of young black men in the drug game. This is the true result of the damage that the 90's caused. This is the aftermath. Whitlock is wrong straight up, but there is no other black writer who can challenge him. IN true Whitlock fashion, he announces the problem and then blames black people for it. That is why I don't like him. That is his style. He blamed black people for IMUS, yet it's the big non black run corporations that force musicians to make that kind of music. We are pawns, but get blamed like we are leading this. What Whitlock also fails to mention is that hip hop fantasy culture was created by some visual and realistic example. He will never address those examples. Intead of galvanizing the community to fix itself, he stands around the corner patronizing black people into action. Mainstream society loves to patronize into action. You see how everyone is using "keep it real" and a method to attack black people. They think they know black people now and understand keep it real.

Colin did well and owns a home in Houston. He also has other clients and can sustain his life regardless of his friend. Peter Falk(Jordan's agent) taught him.

If I got rich I would pay for Dumar to go school or buy him a business because he can run one. That is what I would do. Baron Davis did the same for his friends. White people hate the entourage Tommy. They will attack it anyway they can because they don't understand it.

Scoop by they way is another sensationalist and is on the opposite side of the fence as Jason. They are both wrong, actually. There is a happy medium between them both, but Jason's side of the fence is Corporate and thus it will be promoted.
