Kevin Frazier Asks Rappers to Get Mind-Boggling Smart
You might know Kevin Frazier from his work on Entertainment Tonight. Black Tree Media caught up with him by the elevator bank outside the press conference for the announcement of the 2007 BET Award nominees. During that press conference, 50 and T.I. were hit with the question of hip-hop’s role in the post-Imus environment.
It’s sad to see most rappers duck and dodge all responsibility for the sake of la dinero.
“I’m just a street reporter.”
Kevin Frazier whispered his response to that answer.
You know why?.. No one needs to read an ET blast saying, “Kevin Frazier Assaulted by Angry Rapper’s Entourage.”
Haha. He’s smart like that.
What’s that Kevin?
“There are lots of things going on in the black community to rap about than just women and fighting and being mad.”
“People want to see what you give them, and feed them, and nourish them, especially younger kids. We’re talking about adolescents, teenagers.. who are really soaking up all the knowledge that they’re learning from what they see on TV.
“And what they see on TV as you mentioned, asses and everything else, then that’s what your perception of reality is. And as we know, being here in Hollywood, perception is not reality. It’s very, very different.”
Yes, she’s Sri-Lankan. My new favorite flavor.
☼ What's Your Opinion? ☼
That’s the truth. I don’t know how many times I go out and see the same silliness going on in my communities. I’m actually ashamed of the way some of the younger generation act and I’m only 24. They have no idea what life is like. Not exactly what you see in the videos young ladies and the dudes cannot talk to a female at all, no game. Sounds like I’m hating, believe me I’m not. With that said parents need to have a better relationship with their kids. Sadly, majority of the youth are in a single parent home. Makes a big difference. My answer, prayer. Nuff said!!
Everybody answers the same way. I’m a street reporter… f-ck outta here.. you said that sh-t in your verse cause you thought that sh-t sounded hot. don’t lie bout the sh-t.. you like talkin bout murkin ppl and sellin coke you don’t got and smashin more girls than wilt. If you didn’t like it you wouldn’t have said it.. I never heard none of these buls say yo fa real I don’t like my verse.
Like Sam Cook said “Change Gon Come”
