WATERING THE SEEDS WITH GASOLINE? by chuck d. --------------------------------------------- "With Eminem's 8 Mile setting all types of attendance records for a hip hop movie, around the same time of JAMMASTER JAY'S murder, the culture of hip hop has reached a crossroads that resembles a crossed skull with bones. I looked around and peeped my career from 1987-2002, and what I saw was a bookend of two significant DJ killings with a whole lotta death, murder and misinterpretation in between. My first year it was the Bronx murder of BOO GIE DOWN PRODUCTION'S SCOTT LAROCK, all the way up to JAY two weeks ago."
"When I was a kid WATCHING a great football game would send us in the streets afterwards trying to replay what we just saw. BRUCE LEE movies had us kids kicking coke machines in the theater afterwards. A love song made you call your girl. Now how the hell can a negative image NOT do the same, especially when that adult stereotype looks so familiar?"
