Wow, I just caught the latest of conservative demagogue Bill O’Reilly’s talk show featuring none other than two of Roc-a-Fella’s finest. O’Reilly, obviously in a slump for ideas, did some token “rap is bad for kids” spiel, which was adequately defended by the quite eloquent Dash and the markedly less articulate Killa Cam. O’Reilly absurdly argued that Cam’ron should make records that substitute for absent parents, and that Cam’s records influence kids into selling drugs (rarely have I seen O’Reilly so sluggish… is he slipping?). Dash’s retort: Cam’ron is a good role model: a successful entrepreneur, owner of his own record label, a movie star, and a musician. Cam maintained he was keeping it real for telling it like it is, and had a great point about Gov. Schwartzenegger’s movies having more of a violent impact on kids than the Dipset Anthem. In the end, Roc-a-Fella came out on top — they give back to the community through youth involvement programs that keep kids off the street. What’s O’Reilly done for the ghetto? Shill for Bush?

Seeing Roc-a-Wear plugged on Fox News: delightful! A wonderful moment of television weirdness. Also, Cam offered to bring the Diplomats to speak positivity at any school that contacts him. That would have been a school assembly I would have actually attended.
