The Scott Johnson Interview

..Goldenways:   What was the first most influential verse you heard?

Scott Johnson:   Sing it with me! "Criminal minded-You've been blinded / Looking for a style like mine? You cant find it!"

That is one of the earliest verses that has stuck with me damn near 20 years!

Honorable mentions?

"Rebel without a pause" , "Illegal business", "My Philosophy", "Jack the ripper", "Children's Story" , "Bring the noise" , "Paid in full".....But if I really go back to the beginning of my true love at the time , I would have to give KRS full props for first inspiring me to emcee...Read more at Hip Hop's Deepest Days

Goldenways:   You say you were influenced by Eric B & Rakim, NWA and Public Enemy, what was the most influential line you heard and why did it hit you so hard?


Ankh Amen Ra:     Let's see, that would have to be, "Teach the children ,save the nation/I see the destruction, the situation/They're corrupt, and their time's up soon/But they'll blow it up and prepare life on the moon/Sounds like Total Recall/But who gotta spaceship, you get it, we fall/So hope for the best and expect the worst/The end is near and it's U-N-I verse..." – Rakim "Teach The children" This song is amazing and...read more at hiphopsdeepestdays.weebly.com

Statement of Black Men Against the Exploitation of Black Women

by the contributors to the book
Be a Father to Your Child: Real Talk from Black Men on Family, Love, and Fatherhood

Six years have gone by since we first heard the allegations that R. Kelly had filmed himself having sex with an underage girl. During that time we have seen the videotape being hawked on street corners in Black communities, as if the dehumanization of one of our own was not at stake. We have seen entertainers rally around him and watched his career reach new heights despite the grave possibility that he had molested and urinated on a 13-year old girl. We saw African Americans purchase millions of his records despite the long history of such charges swirling around the singer. Worst of all, we have witnessed the sad vision of Black people cheering his acquittal with a fervor usually reserved for community heroes and shaken our heads at the stunning lack of outrage over the verdict in the broader Black community.

Over these years, justice has been delayed and it has been denied. Perhaps a jury can accept R. Kelly's absurd defense and find "reasonable doubt" despite the fact that the film was shot in his home and featured a man who was identical to him. Perhaps they doubted that the young woman in the courtroom was, in fact, the same person featured in the ten year old video. But there is no doubt about this: some young Black woman was filmed being degraded and exploited by a much older Black man, some daughter of our community was left unprotected, and somewhere another Black woman is being molested, abused or raped and our callous handling of this case will make it that much more difficult for her to come forward and be believed. And each of us is responsible for it.

We have proudly seen the community take to the streets in defense of Black men who have been the victims of police violence or racist attacks, but that righteous outrage only highlights the silence surrounding this verdict.

We believe that our judgment has been clouded by celebrity-worship; we believe that we are a community in crisis and that our addiction to sexism has reached such an extreme that many of us cannot even recognize child molestation when we see it.

We recognize the absolute necessity for Black men to speak in a single, unified voice and state something that should be absolutely obvious: that the women of our community are full human beings, that we cannot and will not tolerate the poisonous hatred of women that has already damaged our families, relationships and culture.

We believe that our daughters are precious and they deserve our protection. We believe that Black men must take responsibility for our contributions to this terrible state of affairs and make an effort to change our lives and our communities.

This is about more than R. Kelly's claims to innocence. It is about our survival as a community. Until we believe that our daughters, sisters, mothers, wives and friends are worthy of justice, until we believe that rape, domestic violence and the casual sexism that permeates our culture are absolutely unacceptable, until we recognize that the first priority of any community is the protection of its young, we will remain in this tragic dead-end.

We ask that you:

1_Sign your name if you are a Black male who supports this statement:

http://www. petitiononline. com/rkelly/petition. html

2-Forward this statement to your entire network and ask other Black males to sign as well

3-Make a personal pledge to never support R. Kelly again in any form or fashion, unless he publicly apologizes for his behavior and gets help for his long-standing sexual conduct, in his private life and in his music

4-Make a commitment in your own life to never to hit, beat, molest, rape, or exploit Black females in any way and, if you have, to take ownership for your behavior, seek emotional and spiritual help, and, over time, become a voice against all forms of Black female exploitation

5-Challenge other Black males, no matter their age, class or educational background, or status in life, if they engage in behavior and language that is exploitative and or disrespectful to Black females in any way. If you say nothing, you become just as guilty.

6-Learn to listen to the voices, concerns, needs, criticisms, and challenges of Black females, because they are our equals, and because in listening we will learn a new and different kind of Black manhood

Interview with Icon The Mic King!!!

Goldenways: What was the most influential verse you ever heard? Why did it hit you so hard?

Icon:
     It's hard to say. There a lot of verses that have influenced me for different reasons. I guess ultimately my most influential verse would be Method Man's rhymes on "Bring the Pain" because those were the ones that made me start rapping. Everybody knows Method Man is one of the coolest rappers ever I don't think I have to explain that hahaha.
