If the NBA wants to change its image why do they flaunt these people (Paul Wall)?

They are tying to appeal to the "minds of the enslaved". Please like me don't think this guy or anyone like him represents hip-hop culture. This guy and those like him....basically the atmosphere around "Rap" music is not an art form anymore.

"Music for the enslaved" and corperate figures like the NBA just want to exploit this garbage to keep the ratings up.

I for one am sick of it. You should apply the music of today but I just think it's all exploitation. When all the real "hip-hop music was being made they never used it but now all the ignorant stuff is comming out they paste it everywhere.

Ever look at Entertainers Classic coverage on NBA TV? It's embarrasing to me.

Ah.....I'm ranting.

Good point Knight. They want their players to look conservative but they market their guys as trying to be streetwise.
