John Robinson aka Lil’ Sci, President of Shaman Work Recordings recently took part in an interview conducted by Dex Digital on MixtapeShow.net with various hip hop and community leaders after the allegations and angry fingers have been pointed at the hip hop culture following Don Imus’ remarks. Breaking the status quo of MixtapeShow.net’s standard format, the episode was developed into an hour long special on the state of hip hop in the media today.
Topics discussed cover everything from the Imus-inspired backlash on Hip-hop to sexism/racism in the media to the Stop Snitching 'movement" to the small number of people that actually dictate what videos get played on BET and subsequently MTV. In relation to the Stop Snitching 'movement,' Another aspect covered during the special was the 60 Minutes interview between Anderson Cooper and Dipset’s Cam’ron which many believe to have driven further accusatory allegations against the hip hop community
Other members of the panel included Aishah Simmons an An African-American feminist and activist documentary filmmaker, Willie D a solo artist and core member of the Geto Boys, Davey D a hip hop historian, journalist, deejay, and community activist, and David K Far-El the former producer for BET's Rap City and the creator of Spring Bling.
