The DEFinition of Design

Common and Russell Simmons Defend Hip Hop

I promise this will be my LAST blog post on Don Imus (maybe).

So it looks like the hip hop community had its chance to speak out about the situation and in a sense defend hip hop as we all KNEW it would be blamed for such ignorant comments.

The other day on Oprah (yea I watched Oprah, fuck off haha) Russell Simmons, Kevin Liles and Common were guests. As much as I enjoyed their views, I would’ve liked Oprah to grow some balls and ask some rappers who are actually speaking about degrading woman and such. Can I get a Luda? Or a Snoop?

But … the guests we’re chosen and the hip hop community had its chance to speak….


For a written “transcript” of some sorts of the show, check out the news piece.
