Drake, Influence and Richard Simmons

I Dont Like Drake...yet?

I know alot a people on this dude and by everything i've heard of him i gotta admit he has talent but just with any new phenom I'm a slight skeptic. Maybe its the degrassi thing maybe it's his flow sounds ridiculously similiar to wayne or maybe cuz nobody is just not feelin him and i'm tryna be different. But on sum real I'm not on em because of what went down in a college class room when discussing afro american males who shape the image of african american males...Somebody please tell me why in a class full of grown men, some ignant thats right IGNANT clown decides to throw his name in the bunch along side a Obama and Mike Jordan and Mike Steele or anybody with a real imprint on the shape of African American manhood...let me explain my professor who stays controversial came in class and asked us to pick 5 blk men (LIVING) who are the most influential to shaping the blk male image. In my mind I'm thinking awww Morehouse here we will separate ourselves from the rest of the crop here we will show a diversity of knowledge....WHAMP WHAMP these sorry clowns had the audacity to pick the following Barack...ok a given...Jay-Z...ok i stopped wearing throwbacks....this is where it gets depressing the next 3 all entertainers Will Smith, U GOTZ 2 BE KIDDIN ME....LIL WAYNE, he def didnt influence me to do NATHAN...and DUM DUM DUM and I really mean DUMB DUMB DUMB SOULJA BOY....How ignorant is that, i had to plea with the crowd to take this Drake character off the list with strong opposition backed by "he hot right now" GOT DANG...have we fallen that far where "hot right now shapes our image, where was Mike Steele (dont agree wit em I'm just saying) where was an athlete, Not to be that guy but c'mon blk ppl we do put out sum athletes...No Jordan, Lebron, Kobe....no Public intellectuals Dyson, West etc....no politicians apart from Obama, C'MON and they where really fightin to keep Drake on this list! I give up...in a class full of freshman I realized that the future sux if im spose to be influenced by Soulja Boy Tell 'em, what da hell has he told me other than supaman a ho n Yuuuulllleeee on a ho. I'm sorry soulja boy what if i dont keep "ho's" in my company then what do I do, and when you gonna finally tell em so u can sit ya ass down....now to be fair I've Yuled, Supermaned, Cranked it and attempted to Birdwalk, but all these things in the privacy of my home or amongst tight friends, and it's not to say i dont want this brotha to be a success. I sincerely do, I want all Whack rappers to succeed, think on it would you want to see Professor Soulja Boy Tell 'em or Dr. Soulja Boy Tell 'em or have this guy doin ya taxes or hell even pumpin ya gas...no keep whack rappers in the industry cuz...where da hell else they gon go?) but back to the issue Why are our young blk men picking soulja boy as an influential person in shaping tthe image of blk men...if we read books ohhh the power...(shouts out to Dr. Fluker) we would have a diverse perspective on influential leaders, the saddest thing about this is that in all his classes this list was the SAME we talkin at least 100 blk men agreed, thats enough to make a educated guess on what the population on campus is saying..this has gotta stop, n At Morehouse 2 King n Mays is pissed right now....n Drake I might feel ya if you didnt sound southern with an Ontario drivers license.

what did we learn today chillen's
1. I dont hate Drake, just his hype
2. support whack rappers or they will teach your kids, pump your gas, do your taxes and attempt and prolly fail at being productive members of society...
3. READ A BOOK
4. I've Cranked It...and I did like it a bit
5.Soulja Boy is the Hip Hop version of Richard Simmons (The original Hip Hop as workout)
6.Will Smith...C'Mon at least Denzel can play a believable bad guy, have u even played one or not been asexualized in a movie (i'll prolly explain later)
7.We do have some athletes blk ppl lets not act as if this aint so we can jump out da gym
8. Lets Go HAWKS, yea Imma real fan
9. IGNANT = Ignorant
10. Nathan=nothing

Imma get on this more consistantly my mind is always at work...
