Al SharpPERMton has been on coming under fire from hip hop artist. First David Banner, now Weezie. Weezie even went as far as putting his feeling on the track "Misunderstood" from The Carter III:
You see, you are no MLK/ You are no Jesse Jackson/ You are nobody to me/ You’re just another Don King with a perm/ Just a little more political/ And that just means you a little more un-human/ Than us humans/ And now let me be human by saying/ F**k Al Sharpton and anyone like him”
Dang Weezie, TELL EM HOW YOU FEEL SON!
Al's flunkies responded with this:
While some of the rappers don’t like the fact that Rev. Sharpton has been leading marches against the degradation of women in music, a Gallup poll released last week revealed that Rev. Sharpton has a 50% approval rate among African-Americans. So why dignify a response to one rap artist who doesn’t even say anything substantive. (source)
I know David Banner went and purchased about fifty-leven copies of Weezie's cd for that verse alone. I do have respect for Al, but I truly believe he's a media whore that will go after anything that will keep his name in the news. Don't stop at hip hop music, go after the bunk ass parenting these heathen kids are receiving. That's the root of the problem, not rap music.
By the way, Lil Wayne's album has sold close to 900,000 in the first week. Kanye is not going to be happy about this! BF alert!

This whole thing cancels each other out. Weezy is NOT a serious person, and neither is Al, so it's just like two mentally-retarded people arguing about who's smarter.
"... go after the bunk ass parenting these heathen kids are receiving ..."
^ Tell it Girl. Speak the truth.
sorry, but i gotta disagree here. i, like many others, used to think al sharpton was just a mouthpiece. but now that i live in atl, i have a chance to hear his radio show everyday. he brings to light a lot of cases going on around the country that many of us may have never heard of had we not listened to his show. i respect anyone who is willing to bring attention to the destruction that our community is facing by the hands of law enforcement (that goes for the police all the way thru this janky legal system we have) as well as by our own hand (black-on-black violence). hell, i actually went to law school and ended up switching to pharmacy because i couldn't handle the hypocritical nature of our unbalanced, unchecked judicial system. i applaud him for reminding our generation that our predecesors brought us a long way, but we still have a ways to go and the only way to get it done is for us to start concentrating on fixing the things that have gotten out of control in our culture rather than perpetuating the very things that are wrong - all for the sake of makin' a buck and calling it "music". if i had some balls, i'd tell weezie to suck 'em cuz he's useless. he doesn't make music, he makes noise. u wanna hear some real music, go cop some donnie hathaway
While he does bring attention to some issues, I still believe that he's still purely trying to bring attention himself. He will go after ANY story he believes the media will jump on.
I do honor him for helping out with stories like Sean Bell, but he needs to stick to stories like these and leave trivial issues like Hip Hop alone. It's a waste of time and it makes him look silly for going tit for tat about words people use instead of actions.
Every generation has music older people don't agree with. I'm sure he use to listen to that "devils music" back when he was younger and his parents/other adults didn't agree with it. Did it make him a bad person? Did it mess up his life? Did it cause his society to suffer? No, what causes that mess is bad parenting. Not music. He needs to get off the surface off the problem and dig into the root. But will digging into the root bring him notoriety? Probably not. But harassing the young stars whole plastered on the tv, posters, and billboards will.
Note: This is my opinion on his obsession with hip hop. Not any of his other issues.
