‎Lupe Fiasco cut short after anti-Obama inauguration event rant | Scene | Arts | National Post

"RAPPER'S PERFORMANCE OF ANTI-WAR SONG LEADS TO EJECTION."...
Lupe Fiasco is booted off stage because of igniting controversy against government policies.

Rick Ross gets to use the same sample 47 different times while he openly ponders whether to snort his cocaine or throw it away for fun.
Rihanna gets to say that ecstasy is in her veins and she really doesn't care because she has so many dollar bills she could stack them higher than the Great Wall stood.

My point is not that these artists should be boycotted or condemned. My point isn't even that we should stop listening to them. I just urge us as a society to allow consciousness to enter our thoughts.
My point is IF you allow your mind to be shaped by poison, your actions will reflect that same lethal message.
We are constantly living in ignorance and this time it's not bliss.
