Real Talk #1 Labor Day Weekend 2012

Hello everyone, This is C.D. Wright and this is my first post to Real Talk so I want to let you guys know that it's an honor to be here with you all. Real Talk will basically be a place where you  can discuss news and opinions about important topics in the urban community and in Hip Hop & R&B music business.

This is Labor Day weekend 2012 and we have already had some upsetting news in the hip hop community. Chris Lighty committed suicide this past Thursday August 30th 2012. He was the CEO of Violator and has worked with some of the biggest names in the business. I have to wonder what was he going through that would make him take his own life? Was it just the divorce? That's another example that money won't by you happiness, Real Talk!

Also I want to shed some light on this years election and the whole voting thing. Does voting really help us or help you? I mean think about it. I know we have all been trained on the whole democracy state of mind, but is that what we really have or is it just a mirage or a smoke screen to keep us from knowing the real agenda? Are there just people put in place to hide the real ones who make things happen? Rappers like Kendrick Lamar keeps it real by stating that he doesn't even partake in voting. Lamar stated that he doesn't believe in what's going on in the world today. I must agree with him, I don't believe in a lot of the crap we are told either. What do you think? Real Talk!
