WARNING - video has NSFW language

so... the guy on this website http://notarapper.com/base.htm
made this video

and so - viewing it. it feels really problematic to me. it has messages like buy some land, read a book, drink water, etc. instead of drinking 40s and buying rims for your car. and telling kids to buy land instead of rims for their car is a good thing. and we all know that PC PSA's don't work. but it also feels fucked up. like - is this what it takes to make kids want to bother to listen? it aired on BET and on VH1s The Best Week Ever. I don't know what sort of pop culture response it's getting. But I feel like - almost like it's one of those things that within it's own cultural context it's fine. Like bitching about your own mother. But once out in the world where other people can put their stuff onto it - maybe not so much? I totally saw films like that while working at Frameline and I was all - omg if I saw this in a straight context i would be so offended - but here at a queer film fest knowing the filmmaker is queer it feels more ok. Racism / classism is so fucking loaded though. Just... would love to know your thoughts.
