Take Aim at Climate Change? Nasa, listen to Rakims alter ego "this is not how it should be done…"

Reading a recent post from Eco Razzi, I discovered the # 1 reason thousands of youth are not joining the green movement. It’s just not being taken serious. 

NASA Helped to produce a “Hip-Hop Climate Change Rap To End All Climate Change Raps.” wow, when all else is lost, “throw in some Rap Music”. I’m glad NASA’s paying attention to this, but for real? For real?

I mean, it’s not like their making publicly available any of their plans to shuttle bus kids with environmental cancer in the Bronx to one of the secret spaceships we know their building.

“Take Aim At Getting Out of the Hood, so that I don’t have to Breathe Smog from all these damn power plants?”

That should be the name of the song. I wish I was in the board room for this decision. I would have played the Roots & Mos Def’s song, Rising Song, ”I know where I’m goin even when it’s dark and being led down that road / You don’t see that somethings wrong, the earth spinning out of control.”

So, I appreciate the effort and good work on behalf of the artists who made what it looks like a sincere effort to make a pop rap song, but in the spirit of Rakim, envisioning what the God MC would say his the lawn of his phenomenal land in the Poconos, PA, “this is not how it should be done.”

Thanks to Michael over at Eco Razzi for giving us this good food for thought.
