Stopping the Violence -- Rappers Take Responsibility

by NAM (reposted)
Originally From New America Media

Monday, September 10, 2007 : What responsibility do rap artists have to help end the violence in Oakland? One MC -- Mistah F.A.B. -- teamed with Oakland Mayor Ron Dellums to create a PSA that urges young people to consider alternatives to violence. Min Lee is an editor at YO! Youth Outlook Multimedia.
In the wake of increasing violence in Oakland, local rappers and radio stations got together to party and cool off the streets. YO!TV talks to Beeda Weeda about the extra pressure young people are dealing with this year, and what the artist community can do to help stop the violence. Ann Bassette is an editor at YO! Youth Outlook Multimedia.
