In recent posts, I have argued for the resurgence of real hip-hop.
Since today is Bob Marley's birthday, I figured I would pay tribute to one of the most powerful and courageous critical thinkers of our time. I also decided to take this opportunity to put my money where my mouth is in regards to hip-hop music.
Here is a track I did with my rap group GHOSTTOWN that pays tribute to Bob Marley and provides a sample of what real hip-hop sounds like.
This is also a taste of what's to come with my upcoming book and my groups upcoming mixtape.
ENJOY !!!!!!!

 Images of Black women have been used to sell everything from makeup and beauty products to sex. In the postmodern, one is even likely to see images of Black women spanning the spectrum from Hollywood stars to public politicians. Despite most of the positive images representing the range of Black women’s lives and physical traits, there is still not enough images in mainstream culture that represent the everyday realities of Black women and girls. For every Black woman that a young Black girl views in the mainstream media, there are hundreds more images of White women and girls. Ironically, human beings have evolved and survived to adapt to environments through visual stimulation that led to physical adaptations in the environment.
