There's no way Wayne and 50 or Busta for that matter should be on tha track... Not positive figures for a stop the violence campaign

Busta could fit in the mix not Wayne and 50 tho Wayne too in to drugs and everything 50 rap is about guns and violence. but Busta is a versatile rapper.

co-sign all you guys...half of all those rappers talk about is how gangster they are and how quick they are to pull their gun..they should keep it real and stay on one side of the argument and stop being a buch of contradictory bitches!

Thats Real brah dont be a hyprocrite if u gonna say one thing and go against it da next day dont do it, it should be people who actual trying to stop the violence and not promoting it, like Krs one,Lyfe,Kanye West,Common,Master P,and some Gospel Rappers, 4real, do it right if u gonna do it or dont do it at all,but its still a good look and it brings a balance in the Music

yea.. but just like escoerv said, its not all about not saying it in your songs. It's about getting people to understand that what they do is just music and to destinguish that versus reality. What they say and what they do can be different things and you can call them hypocrits but they are entertainers. Is bruce willis a hypocrit because he doesnt kill people in real life but he does in movies? Can you consider an author a hypocrit because what he writes in his books arent what he does in real life? Take music for what it is, just another form of entertainment and remember nobody said that rap music is all non-fiction

Violence is a byproduct of Man's insecurity, fear, and ignorance. It has always been around, it will always be around. How about we stop the violence by starting the "let's take education serious" initiative...

The same niggas calling these rappers hypocrites are the same ones in other threads calling niggas haters because rappers "just trying to get they money".
You niggas contradict your own self more than the rappers do.

The campaigns movement I heard was actually doing really good! Im very impressed HipHops doing it thing and making an effort to give back to the community and show a posistive influence for these youngsters out there. Thats what it SHOULD be about... Influencing positivity especially during these crucial times. There is a really informative article on his stop the viloence movement and grass roots organization. Check it out!
