Ah-h-h man, Smooth - you are so beautiful...
Did i actually feel you asking folks if they had their plus sign today? Between you and Brother Dr. West and yes, Mos Def...i am feeling so more than very positive for the future of us all.

Pick up the new Oh No album Dr. No's Oxperiment. It's excellent.

Excellent, excellent message. Excellent, excellent list.

Excellent all around.

i think everyone should buy O.J. Simpsons book "If I Did It". In stores tomarrow...

my friend Zaki's dad, Zane Ibrahim, founded Bush Radio. an absolutely worthy cause, and one that i admire very much. glad you mentioned it :)

Co-sign on that Blu and Exile record.

Great video today, Jay.

Preach on, Jay. Good post.

sup Jay Smooth...

this video to me is what hip-hop SHOULD be about...you're using your standing in the community to put a message out there and support some great causes...I wish more people would support causes and make a change in the world

Sweet vid-nice of you to play Weather Report in honor of the great late http://joezawinul.com. So glad you are offering good info not just knocking down straw men as many do.

I would like to be optimistic to think people will go out of their way to support the causes you listed. They are all worthwhile causes but the truth is most of it is out of people's radar. It doesn't make sense because we are the world's leading economic power yet we are ultimately wrapped up in our own selfish interests. I donated to the Katrina relief because I felt I was doing more to help the brothers and sisters down south than our gov't. I also donated to the Tsunami relief in 04 because it was so devastating that I couldn't sit back and enjoy my life knowing hundreds of thousands of people's lives were ruined and/or terminated. My point is if it's a cause that truly hits me, I do something. I know there are a lot of other folks doing things too, but just not enough I feel.

dope drop jay. that's wassup.

thanks for the arm vibes

fantastic! such good information!

This is a great post.

I think I'm going to read one of those books you recommended. But I'm also going to cop Coltrane: The Story of a Sound. Johnny is my all-time favorite.

Great post.

I realize you appeal to more intelligent readers at ill doctrine and not the people I'm complaining about, but your last video reminded me of the Ja Rule story where he called out gay people. Almost every comment on the message boards (at sohh.com and tmz.com) agreed with his discriminatory remarks and in the compassionate spirit you appeal to, I hope you can say how much bullshit it really is to hate on an 8% minority. I know it sadly won't make a difference overall. It was discouraging to read so many black people hating a minority for something they couldn't choose to be. Won't the previously segregated please learn? Being one of the more articulate people I've heard in years, I hope you can frame this argument in a way that most people will listen the obvious points of view.

Drunken commenting but hoping it still makes a difference,

Tony

don't stop! the september experiment is already an absolute success. thank you!

this really is good stuff, one of the few hip hop sites worth bookmarking.

besides, september 11th was all about that b5 album.

Donor's Choose actually directly supports teachers (not schools) as the teachers are the ones who write the proposals. Other funding organizations often donate to schools -which mostly means the funds do not make it to the classroom but rather back to the state (since schools must pay taxes). If you want to support teachers and students directly, search the proposals at donor's choose. Also, freecycle.org is used by teachers to pick up free equipment for use in the classroom. Thanks J.... fyi I teach now.

That was beautiful, bro. Way to be.

better still lets take some homeless kids tothe "amusement park"-show the society that "you get money" and you "get yo money right"for a good cause!dont "laugh all the way tothe bank"to get money and blow it up on some pop-ass rap..........get"stronger"
