return2oursource offers thoughts on hip-hop Rockefellahs, via Africana.

...many of the same folk that wouldn't admit to shaping perceptions of reality for the Black community are falling over themselves for a chance to cash in on their ability to shape fashion. Simmons, Jigga, and the like won't fess up that their music can influence minds when it comes to drug use, violence, sexism, and materialism, but will try to sell you a pair of fifty dollars jeans with their name on it.
