Jalon, keep speaking the truth. I voted NO on the proposal to close Montbello, and we need the truth to come out about what's going on down there. Hit me up: andrea@andreamerida.com.

Hip-hop 101: Adam Bradley is revolutionizing education...one rap at a time
See also: The poetry of Jalon Martin, Adam Bradley's Montbello rap student
I am a great man, society fails to notice,
And I don't have a bad temper; I was just born to be ferocious.
Anthony Camera
"Rap is something that comes to you," says Jalon Martin.

Alison Corbett thinks her students "will go off and really make waves."

Mind of a killer, actions of a lover,
No thought of having no father, all I need is my mother.
Raised by my brothers, the pain that I have suffered.
But there's something else in these words, too — a new sense of confidence and hope:
The world, I understand now.
I'm a man now.
I don't need no handouts.
Sixteen and having visions of the victory.
My future is a mystery.
Then he comes to the end, smiling triumphantly as he raises his free hand above his head, a Warrior's proud salute as he spits out his final, victorious rhymes.
My pride fits my needs.
I will strive till I bleed.
My position at the top is almost guaranteed.
I'ma make it.

I LOATHE rap music . The ONLY rap I have ever been able to digest is Aerosmith . Because I'm white, I'm sure 'Iceprick' will be quick to throw the 'race-card' my way but my arrogance towards rap ISN'T limited to black 'artists' . The same adheres to the likes of the Beastie Boys & Rage Against the Machine. ( The latter throws down lyrically ! )
If a teacher were to attempt that shit in a class I was assigned to, one of us wouldn't be present the following day !
Those who aren't able to sing, rap ......
Yo! Alison will get the business! Only if she aint a culture vulture could she see some repeat business! Hit me up cutie!
