DA BUTTON PUSHA SPEAKS OUT!!!

Peace all - I would first like to applaud all of the Brothers and Sisters who came out to support Ms. Lawton yesterday at the rally. All of our efforts should not go in vain. We must continue to support each and every cause that will allow us to stand as one unit and fight against oppression. However, honestly, I am disgusted and downright outraged over the lack of support by the "HIP HOP" Community. The actions of the police is what we as so-called "hip-hoppers" say we speak out against in our music , yet when the opportunity comes to raise up and stand - the "hip-hoppers" were in short supply. This has to end. I am sick of hearing people are down for the "hip hop movement" yet, I fail to see the appearance of the soldiers. This should not be tolerated. If you are truly down for the "movement" - get MOVING!!!! - Any one of us could have been Ms. Lawton. Why does it take the victim to be "you" before " you " stand up and do and/or say something. HIP HOP and the prilviage of being able to use the micophone as tools are a blessing -but it doesn't stop with a song!!!!

Unfortunately, I will be out of town Oct. 22ND, however I trust you all will be present at the Stop Police Brutality Rally being held at Freedom Corner, Hill District - 3:oopm.

If you are not present - then please do us all a favor and STOP COMPLAINING!!!! If you simply can not be there - you can still speak up!!!
