To be honest I think it's poison that a celebrity should be an idol since we all know the world of politics and celebrity is something of an illusion when in fact the inspiration should come from the people around them and not the people they see on tv who are just fake and have to maintain a certain image, whether that's to sell records, sell votes, or to sell tickets.

the hard shit could've been expressed/visualized in a different form. it's not just hip hop, it's everywhere, clothes, potatoe chips (no bullshit), movies, ALL of our stories (just about). the bullshit happens every day but the world would be a lil better for black folks without the MC Eiht's and Eshams.
