Geoffrey Canada on Rap Music
By Jeremy | December 27, 2007
"There comes a point in time when you just have to say, 'Enough's enough.' .... They are preaching anarchy. They're preaching a message that will lead them to destruction. You know what the sad thing is? Our music as African Americans have always tried to lead us to the light. You've always had a sense that the music would get you through the worst times. This is the first music that is leading us to destruction. The message is, 'Go out and do things that will destroy you, that will get you lock up in jail, that will ruin your life, that will ruin your relationship, that will estrange you from your kids.' That's what this music is preaching. and we've never had any music like that in our history before. ... The street isn't driving the music anymore. The music is driving the street."
