Somebody get the gauze…
… In a month or so my ears are going to bleeding. Bill Cosby, Black America’s favorite father, has decided to release a Hip-Hop album next month. Thankfully Cosby had the foresight to not rap on it … thank you God, for real! But the album will be ‘positive’. Call me the eternal cynic but there are very few rap albums that have fit this mold over the years that have been worth listening to. If you’re not wearing a dashiki, locks or flowers, I don’t want to hear it. And for all the folks who have been wondering about Cosby’s recent rantings and if they a function of “old Black man disease” then check out this Atlantic Monthly article. For the record, I think the Atlantic monthly article is interesting but really skews what conservatism means and personal responsibility is.
