Total Chaos & Complete Mass Media Confusion

I'm just sittin here thinkin about all of the recent killings in Chicago that have been so called "gang related". But seeing that the killings are associated with the current crop of Chicago rappers, the attention from the media has been a tad bit heavier than the norm. Dr. Dre once said in the movie Rhyme & Reason that there was "no such thing as bad publicity". Well this is some publicity that we could go without having. Honestly, this shit that's going on in Chicago is embarrassing!! First the rappers are kicking up YouTube beef, then they're killing each other and posting tweets about it!! How stupid is that?!? Now the teachers are on strike, which is pretty much giving the youth another outlet to be outside waiting for something stupid to happen!! My mind runs through a lot of music from moment to moment. "My baby ain't never shot nobody, but he still got smoked at BeBe's party!" Who said that?? That was Eazy E!! What song was that?? That was "We're all in the same gang" from the West Coast All Stars. But my thought is thinking of a time when rappers used to come together and do songs that would speak on the ignorance going on in the black community, the Hip Hop community and BOTH. I'm wondering, why has it been since 1989 or 1990 since we had a song where everyone came together to tell the youth to get there shit together?! Take a look what these cats are doin in Chicago! Don't ya think that this would be a good time to make another one of those kinda songs?? There's enough established Chicago rappers to create our own 2013 "Self Destruction", cause these young dudes are most definitely headed for self destruction.
Here's your lineup.....Kanye West, Common, Lupe Fiasco, Twista, L.E.P. Bogus Boys, Mikkey Halsted, Cayex Illah, Bennie Franks, Shawnna, throw R. Kelly on the hook, and have No ID or Joe Blacula produce the song. (Shameless plug) That's all the star power that I feel that we need to get a strong point across. "Well how come JB ain't put such and such on there?" Because it's my list and such and such ain't drawing enough star power!! Plus I ain't ever really been big on the hot new flavor of the moment. You have to put in dues for me to acknowledge whatever the hell you're doing. So what you have a hot new single! Hot singles cool off! Holla at me when you've been around for damn near a decade, THEN you'll get my attention. Other than that...enjoy your 15 minutes because the clock is ticking. Other than that, let's get to crackin on it. How many more rappers, or civilians even, are gonna have to get killed before someone decides to move on this idea....I'm ready when y'all are. Lemme know.
