"The concept behind the creation of the album is in the title "What About US?" states Executive Producer Nick Huff. "The media portrays the Hip Hop generation as apathetic and materialistic but never supports artist that have something to say about what is going on in their communities."

1. You know, after all of this.....

the more dispicable Country Music becomes and the more the "urban" scene makes more sense.

2. Right on!

I just can't take another second of that video country shit! Now that Johnny Cash is gone, let's just let it die!

After what the country establishment did to the Dixie Chicks, they should just re-define themselves as "folk".

A lot of urban music is connected to strong universal dance grooves. I'm glad that some of these cats now realize that the Clinton Era Endless Party is over, and they've gotta say something about whats being done to their communities.
