					<description><![CDATA[WAKE UP BLACK PEOPLE......Lil Wayne music is not the cause for the way black kids or any other kids act these days.... It&#039;s the uneducated parents that focus more on Michael Jordan shoes, going to the club, buying rims for cars, shopping for clothes, and all the other materialistic things in life instead of focusing on raising their children in the best way to become productive citizens. So stop making excuses and trying to blame the music instead of telling black people what they need to know. Stop blaming another black man for the troubles of half-raised children. Thats our problem; we still stuck in the white man;s era of blaming the black man for everything and its a shame that we blaming ourselves....Eminem makes music as such but we have not heard one word about that or blamed him....Ohhhhh, I forgot, he whit so he gotta be right....GET REAL]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[To all, I think what Dr. Watkins is really talking about, but didn&#039;t take it there, is the impact of Wayne and other thug rappers, who are the popular rappers, on our youth.  Their influence is not so much in the lyrics, but on what is considered &quot;cool&quot; in day to day presentation.  Let&#039;s keep it real.  Thug rappers are wearing sagging pants, white t&#039;s, tatted up all over, locks - even to awards shows.  Let&#039;s add to the fact that these rappers are NOT poetic.  They don&#039;t even know how to articulate the English language.  And yet they still make millions at promoting rebellion against the status quo PERIOD.  So then our children show up for job interviews - not knowing how to articulate (speak), not wearing professional clothes that fit, tattoos on their necks, hair unkept, because they thought it was cool and acceptable at home, at school, and even at church. And then we get upset when the employee does not hire them or the teacher sends them home because they refuse the status quo. Thug rap is a negative influence even subliminally that does regularly impact a young person&#039;s early decisions which will ultimately influence the rest of their lives.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This song is unbelievably old, I can&#039;t believe you&#039;re just now noticing this line. I&#039;m still a teen, this song had no impact on me when I heard it 2 years ago nor does it have any impact on me today. It doesn&#039;t make me want to go out and rape females or murder anybody, and anyone who take that line seriously is an idiot. Also, if you think that line is outrageous then you obviously haven&#039;t heard any of Odd Future&#039;s song (most notably, any of Tyler, the Creator&#039;s songs) I also listen to Odd Future and their songs have no impact on this 16 year old either.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Dr. Watkins, 

Let me commend you on taking a stand for what you believe to be the right and responsible thing to do; despite those who feel you&#039;re hating on Wayne or that you don&#039;t understand that parents need to do a better job raising or monitoring what their kids listen to.  Here&#039;s the real question though...will boycotting Weezy really do anything to prevent the systemic decay of our culture?  Will radio stop playing it?  Will those who love Wayne and what he stands for stop supporting him?  Will supports really buy into your theory of &quot;recipe for self-destruction&quot;?  No, they won&#039;t.  

In fact, boycotting will do nothing more than make supports fight for his continue existence in the game.  Rather than boycott and continue to turn us against one another, let&#039;s focus on creating alternative vehicles through which are kids and adults can receive more variety.

Let&#039;s face it, all of us over 30 grew up on the Ghetto Boys, NWA, Too Short, Scarface, Spice One, ect.,ect. and we all knew that for the most part, it was eloborate story telling.  Today&#039;s youth know it as well; What they don&#039;t realize is how it&#039;s shaping long term attitudes.  Therefore, going after the Weezy&#039;s of the world, in my opinion, is a waste of time; rather, find avenues or opportunities for offering variety through the media mogules who support and disseminate the message - don&#039;t kill the messenger;  Yesterday&#039;s Bushwick Bill is today&#039;s Little Wayne who&#039;se tomorrows.......]]></description>
