No im upset that AL does not hold himself to the same standards he wants to hold others to.

I was not really a huge AL fan at all until about 5 years ago. I felt AL had turned the corner from agitator to legitamte political commentator with principled stances and an openly progressive style and substance to his arguments. I found him to be far easier to follow and understand than Jessie "where is the TV camera Jackson". When he got his guest hosting gigs on cable news it showed a more complete picture of him and his stances.

I personally have more of a problem with the images Cash money Records presents to our youth and specifically young black males. But yeah claiming to be out raged over little waynes verese and then signing to the same label is very hypocritical.
