NEW YORK - When the latest call for a protest over Jena Six came, it wasn't led by Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson, but rapper-actor Mos Def.

Mos Def sent out a viral video urging students to walk out of classrooms nationwide this week in protest of the prosecution of six black teens

I am not in the loop, and won't be 4real, for a minute.

Somebody tell me 50 answered the final call.
Is there a line that Hip Hop artists don't cross, that may effect deals, and sales? I will tell you what is worst than Love or Hate.....Indifference, a trait that makes the very angels weep.
My scope is, that the artist would not be "successful" were in not for our communities making them so.
Why didn't more artists get with Mos Def?

Wow Mos Def most definitely gets much more respect from me word to Black Star. And how did that happen schit! And Mississippi is the most racially charged region in the U.S. period I had a friend who was stationed there but he loopholed his way out of there real quick. New York is getting racially charged as well with NYPD smokin black doods, and NYC has the largest black population in the country I smell a riot .

Now, that is a damned shame the brother in the military, and pulled up. I honestly do not blame him. Honestly, the Hip Hop royal order should have been more visible and vocal. Especially the Queen, Lyte, PE, etc, old school mature Conscious artists. I am seeing it as indifference. I must admit some of what they maybe doing may not have made the news, but if you have been in the industry you gotta know somebody.
 
Steve Harvey had paid for buses to take people to march, down there comn' from STL. that was cool, that was real on his part.
 
I'm not paranoid. Rcism is alive and well, and doing Taibo.
