Common: "Obama Effect Causing Hip Hop To Stop Calling Black Women 'Hoes' We Are Working On Getting Pirates To Stop Killing Blacks"

Common: 'Obama effect' steering rap away from rims, bling

Sorry for all of the sarcasm folks. It is the only way that I can cope.

When you have operatives who SET THEIR OWN STANDARD BY WHICH THE MASSES ARE TO JUDGE THEM (aka: "The Fox Guarding The Hen House") should it be surprising to you that they have very LOW thresholds for having those they like be successful in their jaudiced view? Likewise - why be surprised that THEIR enemies can't win for losing?

"I think hip-hop artists will have no choice but to talk about different things and more positive things, and try to bring a brighter side to that because, even before Barack, I think people had been tired of hearing the same thing," he said in December.

Common admits that Thug Hip Hop HAS NOT CHANGED because of some higher standards of consciousness (he's a "conscious rapper" you know) has been achieved. Instead it is the CONSUMER PUBLIC grew tired of that genre and thus MARKET FORCES (money) has changed, causing the lyacists to change.

On Saturday, Common said he is already seeing signs that Obama is making a mark on a musical genre often vilified because of its focus on drugs, violence and the degradation of women."I also don't find as much gangsta talk," he said. "You see the whole chain-shining-and-rim era is gone. That's like super-played out. Just to have that, I think, is part of the Obama effect."

DOES ANYONE ELSE NOTICE that while in observing the process of refining "iron ore" into "steel" one can document specific steps that have been taken in the transformation?

When it comes to certain elements of THE BLACK CULTURE - it is hard to document the process by which such Societial Change has taken place. Instead there is an overdependency on "Inductive Gravitational Pull" that makes it all better.

This is what NON-JUDGMENTALISM brings to you.

"People always want to feel better and be inspired," he said. "Sometimes we need it. I think the conscious rapper will always be able to live and exist."

Obama and the American spirit, he said, are prodding the movement along. Common said he hopes more rappers abandon vacuous materialistic ideals and the glorification of vices plaguing American communities -- "and if whatever MC doesn't, I will," he warned.

"I think Obama is definitely bringing people to be able to inspire people to create for themselves," he said. "What America was built on was being able to say, 'Hey, we're going to come in and use our resources to build for ourselves and our communities and build around that. We're not going to depend on others.'

"I think that's what hip-hop is starting to do to a certain extent. I think it's a great thing."

Common sounds like this woman with a shaved head:




Don't you all get TIRED of this EMOTIONALISTIC "B.S." that passes for "Black Consciousness"?

We have a HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT problem within the Black Community.

In the context of my job I can show the framework of:

• Manditory Annual Training To Reenforce "Code Of Conduct"


• Signature Of Compliance Agreements


• Quarterly Performance Reviews


• Coaching Seessions


• Written Goals

None of this is MAGIC folks.

Instead what we are seeing is that those who presently have POWER realize that it is more in their own interests to resist TRANSPARENCE and "The Development Of Competencies at the PERIPHERY" for the sake of retaining their Power and Centralized Control.
