Positive Role Models in Hip-Hop

I am not saying there are not any, it's just they are hard to find mainstream wise. Especially with the lyrics that come out of their notebooks (or in jay-z's case heads).
A ton of hip hop music out there is positive, just not many songs of that calibur make it to the airwaves or television. Surprisingly, your friendly neighborhood pusha Malice (1/2 of the Clipse) is one of them. This gave me a much higher level of respect for him. We forget that many times music is just entertainment (even Eminem admitted he just says some of his songs just for kicks. Check out 'Stan')and Gene here did not. Seeing this video is like Johnny Knoxvile and Steve-0 sponsoring skateboard protection gear. It's nice to see that some of these artists actually do have morals, and are great parents/husbands/people outside of the recording booth, and when they step out of the green screens when making music videos. Matter of fact, he explains it in his first vlog. I posted up the vlogs on here for your viewing convenience, so you don't have to open another tab or window and check them for yourself.
