What is NOT Hip Hop

After seeing this a somber mood descended upon me, disappointment, secondhand embarrassment, and admittedly a mild sense of disgust. I just don't see how a person in the public eye can be this unprepared to present themselves on public television. Correction: On live public television.

This is what is NOT Hip Hop.

Waka Flocka is a current popular artist in the mainstream from Georgia (born in New York, *bows head in shame*). I'm not going to knock his work, nor his success, because I'm not exactly going to make this a hate blog, but this is embarrassing. Rappers haven't always had the most ideal images in the media, but one of pure ignorance on topics as basic or simple as education or voting is extremely important. You have to have A REAL OPINION! Anything! Especially if they're spoon-feeding you an opportunity to make a reasonably good impression. You have kids watching you. Idolizing you. Get it together, man!

Just don't bring down the artists that have some decent intellect with you if you're going to do something this careless.
