Hip-Hop catches so much flack from the media and even the Civil Rights Generation, but I was pretty impressed by the number of rappers in the giving spirit over the holiday season.

That's a real good look especially with all the bad press it's got this year. Hopefully '08 will be a positive year for hip hop as well;)http://allhiphop.com/stories/rumors/archive/2007/12/26/19050374.aspx#19052550Thu, 27 Dec 2007 00:58:15 GMT0ab0b95d-286f-42d5-ba9b-6086957539ea:19052550mellimell3Glad to hear about some of the positive hip-hop can bring. But it is not the responsibility of rappers to give back/to (which ever relates) to the community. It's a shared responsibility we all have. With many different ways to contribute like: <br>Monetary (of course) <br>Respecting your neighbors and neighborhood <br>Obeying the law <br>Mentoring a child in the right way <br>Cleaning up and taking pride in how your community looks <br>Donating things you have upgraded on <br>Just being polite with each other <br>Most importantly .....Time! <br> <br>The list can go on and on.http://allhiphop.com/stories/rumors/archive/2007/12/26/19050374.aspx#19052554Thu, 27 Dec 2007 00:58:25 GMT0ab0b95d-286f-42d5-ba9b-6086957539ea:19052554Holla221Finally! I can come to the rumors section on here and feel the positive vibe. You guys need more positive news on your site. It's so hard to stay positive in these times. If you can believe in yourself and stay positive you can achieve anything you want in life. I live by this quote, &quot;A man can never reach heights above his level of thought&quot;.

Peep the AHH news section in the past 2 weeks alone? Lol! <br> <br>Getting press for doing good things is not a sin, and should be encouraged by the industry and fans alike. Kids look up to these artists, and it's important to show what they are doing outside of the music. <br> <br>Unfortunately there isn't ENOUGH being shown to people, and I think more rappers/actors, etc. should have cameras and media follow them when they are doing good deeds. <br> <br>Just like Banner mentioned, the rappers make it rain in the clubs, and the media loooooves to talk about it (and any other kind of senseless fun). Media definitely needs to take responsiblity on that note, so I'm happy illseed posted this.http://allhiphop.com/stories/rumors/archive/2007/12/26/19050374.aspx#19053338Thu, 27 Dec 2007 06:00:34 GMT0ab0b95d-286f-42d5-ba9b-6086957539ea:19053338SPATE Magazine All DayThats whats up <br> <br>Listen to MadMan's Mixtape Here Free <br><a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://spatemag.podomatic.com/">http://spatemag.podomatic.com/</a> <br> <br>SPATE MAGAZINE <br>IN THE BUILDING <br><a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.spatemag.com">http://www.spatemag.com</a> <br><a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/spatemagazine">http://www.blogtalkradio.com/spatemagazine</a> <br><a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.youtube.com/spatetv">http://www.youtube.com/spatetv</a>http://allhiphop.com/stories/rumors/archive/2007/12/26/19050374.aspx#19053385Thu, 27 Dec 2007 06:18:49 GMT0ab0b95d-286f-42d5-ba9b-6086957539ea:19053385slj140BIG UP TO DAVID BANNER and ALL THE OTHERS WHO GIVE TO THE NEEDY! <br> <br> <br>LEna~http://allhiphop.com/stories/rumors/archive/2007/12/26/19050374.aspx#19053392Thu, 27 Dec 2007 06:21:08 GMT0ab0b95d-286f-42d5-ba9b-6086957539ea:19053392editmuch love to everyone who gave back something this holiday season hip-hop, famous or not. <br> <br><a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.lilweezy.info">http://www.lilweezy.info</a>http://allhiphop.com/stories/rumors/archive/2007/12/26/19050374.aspx#19053470Thu, 27 Dec 2007 06:50:27 GMT0ab0b95d-286f-42d5-ba9b-6086957539ea:19053470slj140 <br>CAn you BELIEVE THIS ONE?

Money is a motherfucker~ <br> <br>“I am hosting a benefit concert at the Apollo Theater in October. It’s to raise money for the Crystal Life Youth Academy, which is for special children who have been molested and abused and been in foster homes and things like that. My goal is to speak for the children who can’t speak for themselves. There was a time in my life when I was a special child.

David Banner is THAT DUDE b/c he put his money where his mouth is and he's not even one of the cats that pop off at the gums all the time. Much, Much respect for helping to heal the hood. To everybody that's doin it b/c we know that the media won't report anything good that hip hop does. I didn't see ONE positive hip hop story in the news for Christmas, but i heard that Brad Pitt was rebuilding houses in the N.O. <br> <br>We gotta report on the good shit ourselves too so kids &amp; people know that they not the only ones who realize everybody gotta chip in. <br> <br>Illseed you did more good in one day than all the rumors all year long (no dis, i'm a faithful rumor-reader). <br> <br>http://allhiphop.com/stories/rumors/archive/2007/12/26/19050374.aspx#19055906Thu, 27 Dec 2007 23:39:39 GMT0ab0b95d-286f-42d5-ba9b-6086957539ea:19055906AnonymousPingBack from <a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://thekaoseffect.com/blog/?p=402">http://thekaoseffect.com/blog/?p=402</a>http://allhiphop.com/stories/rumors/archive/2007/12/26/19050374.aspx#19056753Fri, 28 Dec 2007 04:07:36 GMT0ab0b95d-286f-42d5-ba9b-6086957539ea:19056753KeepinItDougie19I hope the same media outlets that report ANYTHING negative involving rap, report all the GOOD it does year 'round...Applause to all the artist that be looking out 4 people that need it. http://allhiphop.com/stories/rumors/archive/2007/12/26/19050374.aspx#19057849Fri, 28 Dec 2007 15:45:35 GMT0ab0b95d-286f-42d5-ba9b-6086957539ea:19057849AnonymousPingBack from <a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://hiphopday.com/videos/raz-bs-apology-forced-by-gang-members-2.html">http://hiphopday.com/videos/raz-bs-apology-forced-by-gang-members-2.html</a>http://allhiphop.com/stories/rumors/archive/2007/12/26/19050374.aspx#19057854Fri, 28 Dec 2007 15:46:12 GMT0ab0b95d-286f-42d5-ba9b-6086957539ea:19057854AnonymousPingBack from <a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://hiphopday.com/videos/raz-bs-apology-forced-by-gang-members.html">http://hiphopday.com/videos/raz-bs-apology-forced-by-gang-members.html</a>http://allhiphop.com/stories/rumors/archive/2007/12/26/19050374.aspx#19059376Fri, 28 Dec 2007 23:33:40 GMT0ab0b95d-286f-42d5-ba9b-6086957539ea:19059376IntelektThe rumor page was ILL, man! I was happy as hell to see all that. Again, I gotta agree that of course CNN, NBC and all those other biased, ignorant ass news outlets aren't gonna cover these kind of things. Maybe if they did, it would help get rid of some of the negativity and ignorance. But props to everybody doing things to help other people. Like mellimel3 said, even if it isn't money, you can still help people by showing respect and giving a hand to neighbors with things, OBEYING THE LAW (that seems to be a problem among a lot of us HipHoppers), mentoring a child and trying to be a role model for young kids, etc. I love it. Let's spread that shit.http://allhiphop.com/stories/rumors/archive/2007/12/26/19050374.aspx#19092845Sun, 06 Jan 2008 14:05:04 GMT0ab0b95d-286f-42d5-ba9b-6086957539ea:19092845uptownsoundI'm linking to this from Hip-Hop Does Good, where we try to show the positive side of hip-hop. Good list,Illseed.
