Miami's Hip-Hop "Movement" has some issues

Alright, I was NOT going to even go there on this subject, so this post if definitely for lovers of Miami Hip-Hop. It is becoming very apparent that recent episodes are causing serious problems with the so-called "the Miami movement."

The buzz has been out there all week on several sites. One side of the issue has already been on a local radio station to air out what happened according to her. Therefore, many of you may know that Jacki-O and Brisco (two Hip-Hop artists born and raised in Miami-Dade) had an altercation last week. Check out the audio of Jacki-O's phone interview with a local DJ HERE and HERE. *Note: the audio is FULL of cursing and repeated use of the "n-word," so listen at your own discretion*It is alleged that after some exchange of words, Brisco threatened to "slap the *expletive* outta" Jacki-O on the set of Lil Wayne's A Milli video shoot in LA. They are former label mates on Poe Boy Entertainment (Jacki-O is no longer affiliated with Poe Boy). Based on Jacki's tone in the video, this angered her somethin' serious and "the movement" is looking more and more like a dirty, disrespectful game (well, for some).

What is happening to "the movement?" Guess # 1: some OUTSIDE elements are encouraging artists to act out or say and do things that they normally would not to fellow Miamians in the industry. Guess # 2: people have lost their minds! There is a lack of respect within the Miami Hip-Hop scene that is not a good look on the national stage. Guess # 3: my people and my generation, we get mad about the wrong stuff. Please pick up a copy of a local paper or watch the news there is much else to get heated over! Whew, that's another topic...

Whatever the reasons, we must ALL agree that no verbal altercation should make ANY man threaten to hit a woman, or follow through with that threat. Bottom line, we all need to learn how to respect one another in and outside of Miami. Making music for your audience should be the ultimate goal; all the other negativity and disrespect is honestly getting old and boring.
