Chrisette Michele Speaks (More) On Rick Ross
Oh well. These are the breaks. Check out an excerpt from the interview after the jump.
I can’t get in touch with him no more. So I’m wondering honestly is he okay, is everything okay? Then I’m wondering how does this make us look to corporate America? Because we got folks spending hundreds and hundreds, hundreds of millions of dollars on putting a show together and then the only rap artist for the whole entire show, the only hip hop representation for the whole show…
For hip hop to walk out like that…you know to me that’s what it meant. To me it was like Hip Hop just misrepresented itself because that’s not who we are, we are people who have fought threw the struggle and we came up from the ground, we’ve paved the way for people to be entrepreneurs to come into corporate America. So when corporate America welcomes us, we don’t just leave and I felt like that was the damage, it wasn’t just about the performance it was about what we said to corporate America as a community. That’s why I was broken.
I just tweeted and it didn’t say Rick Ross’ name but it talked about the way that us as a community represents ourselves and places like award shows and that music isn’t all about receiving an award. It’s more about showing what our community has to say, spreading love, it’s about camaraderie. Collaborations especially are about unity in the African American community. The first thing I’m thinking when I go into the studio with a rapper is “Wow, this is going to the great for our community.†So that’s what I said on twitter and that was taken to every kind of blog site that I can think of and people were very upset about it. But at the end of the day it wasn’t necessarily to Rick, it was to how we represent ourselves to a population and the way that we represent ourselves outside of our beat box and outside of our boom box, and outside of our stoop.
You know America is watching us and paying attention.
