Read A Motherfuckin Book

You know what I love? Finding an absolute gem on the internet. It doesn’t happen as much as I would like, but when it does, I try to get it up and on here as soon as possible. The following was sent to me by a family member of mine who is absolutely obsessed with YouTube, I’m sure of it. And he gets much love for it.
The following text is the Video Description given by YouTube.
This was shot on BET Animation and 106 and Park. IT IS A SATIRICAL OBSERVATION ON THE CURRENT RIDICULOUS, OFFENSIVE, AND EMBARRASSING STATE OF THE ONCE NOBLE ART OF HIP HOP. THE RAPPER WHO MADE THE SONG IS ALSO SATIRING THE CURRENT POPULAR RAP MUSIC WHICH IS AN EMBARRASSMENT TO EVERYTHING RAP WAS. WHILE MAKING THIS SOCIAL SATIRE, HE ALSO PROVIDE A POSITIVE MESSAGE AND A SOCIAL COMMENTARY.
African Americans, open your mind. This man is not offending us. He’s smaking us in the face and saying Wake Up. This is what they think of us…and the reality is…most of it is true.
Unfortunately I have no connection to the authoring of the video. I merely uploaded it as a show of support and like-mindedness.
I feel that the video was a clever, harsh, striking, and much-needed parody/satire on the current state of hip hop. Hip hop, originated as a black folk style of music, the voice of the innercity. A conscious, aware, if hardened by it’s environment, expression of the life of middle/poor-class African Americans and Hispanic/Latino Americans in America. It has, like EVERY style of music before it, finally succumb to commercialization and thus the current POPULAR hip hop is little more than brain-mush over percolating beats. This song highlights that, with the line: "I used to makes song with concepts and shit, but now I wanna go platinum". The irony of that line, says it all.
In addition to being a strong satire/parody, it also instills some very strong positivities: reading, hygiene, ownership of things that cultivate wealth and worth (buy some land), responsibility (raise your kids), etc…concepts that popular hip hop is NOT teaching to our youth anymore.
So it parodies viciously, and instructs what is lacking concurrently.
For this reason, as an African American male who is passionate about the origins of hip hop and a purist of the hip hop form sans commercialization, and as a human being in general worried for our future and our progeny, I couldn’t HELP but support the creator of the song and video by uploading it.
Now, that’s funny.
Yes, yes it is.
