<B>Seeing that we only have two more months in '01, I feel that we are lacking in sufficient time to rock enough hip-hop to legitimize a full blown "Spread the Word" campaign. I also feel that hip-hop, although it is, in the majority sense, a black man's thang, it can still be rocked, and rocked damn good too! <P></B><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Ah, but "rock the hip-hop" is a quote directly from the mouths of the Beastie Boys, the Legitimate White Boys of the rap industry (unlike, say, Eminem, who has "VANILLA ICE '99" written all over him). <P>Ergo, while "hip-hop" is largely a media for black expression, ROCKING the hip-hop is something best achieved by really funky caucasian folk. <P>And if you like this contest, why not spread the word and post on OTHER message boards? I would, but I don't like tooting my own horn...at least, not too often... <P>...but I appreciate it when other people toot my horn.<P>I'd best stop now.<P><P>------------------
