I Never Saw Myself Not Being A

The Hip Hop Community Is Not At Fault Here - I'm Definitely Not Blaming Them. But, That Can't Be The Only View Of Manhood For Our Young Men.

All I Knew Growing Up Was That My Father Was Married To And Loved My Momma, Period. He Worked Hard, Made Some Money, And Put It On The Dresser. She Spent It On The Family, And He Went Out And Earned Some More. He Taught Me The Most About Love.

I've Had My Share Of Problems Along The Way. Don't Get Me Wrong, Because There Is No School For This. You Go From A Poor Person To A Rich Person. My Parents Didn't Have No Money; Didn't Tell Me Nothing About Investments.

I Think That We, As The African-american Men In Hip-hop, We Have A Greater Responsibly Because We Have The Ears Of So Many Millions Of Our Young People. And They Listenin'.

You Can't Ask The Women To Do Anymore. It's Time For Us As Black Men To Step Up And Be What We're Supposed To Be.
