Copy Quote Text

I agree that a lot of mainstream corporate sold hip-hop is self-hating.

Bakari Kitwana

Hip-hop is a complex music and culture that has been reduced to a one-dimensional critique. Hip-hop's messages aren't all bad. Neither are they all good.

Bakari Kitwana

And just as you can find hip-hop lyrics beating up on all these groups, including young Black men themselves, the primary producers of the music, you can also find lyrics celebrating them.

Bakari Kitwana

Locally lived hip-hop culture that is giving many of America's youth the tool they need to survive and thrive in America, in the face of public policy that have written too many young people off.

I never wanted to go for the cute boys. Why would you wanna have a boyfriend that's cuter than you?

Gwen Stefani Singer-Songwriter

The most disgusting, appalling horror of our world that we live in, to me, is sex trafficking and the enslavement of men and women, boys and girls, in the sex industry. That is the most horrific, horrific thing that's happening and it's happening in all of our towns here in Los Angeles, in New York, in London, in Paris, all over the world, and I think that's really what has to be addressed.

Taylor Hackford Film Director

Black men don't like to be called 'boys,' but women accept being called 'girls.'

Marilyn Monroe Actress

It's a fickle town, a tough town. They getcha, boy. They don't let you escape with minor scratches and bruises. They put scars on you here.

Reggie Jackson Baseball Player

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy - and Jill a wealthy widow.

Evan Esar American Humorist

As a teenager I just wanted to fit in, just to be one of the boys. It was tough. I went to an all black school. I went so far as to have them print my negative in the yearbook. I think it was the black teeth that gave me away.
