Newsclips – “Mumble Rappers Don’t Faze Me” Ft. Emad Saad

Kansas City based indie Hip Hop artist Newsclips drops his new single titled “Mumble Rappers Don’t Faze Me” featuring Emad Saad.



I am my mother and father’s son; I am my own man. I live at a particular confluence of race, class and history, but I am more than the sum of those parts. I am a product of South Carolina public schools, and yet I’m not entirely a product of South Carolina public schools.

At my day job covering education for The Post and Courier, Charleston’s daily newspaper, I just spent the last eight months or so working with a team to assemble as comprehensive a view as possible of why the schools in our state are such a persistent source of failure and embarrassment. The result, available online this month, is a five-part series we’re calling “Minimally Adequate.”

The future of our schools is a subject that matters to me deeply: I went to the public schools here from fourth grade through college, and now my children go to the public schools here as well.

I remember the day I realized something was broken. I was in fourth grade. My family had just moved from the suburbs of Houston to the suburbs of Charleston, and as I adjusted to new friends and surroundings at my new elementary school, I realized we were learning things that my teachers in Texas had covered in third or second grade. I was fortunate to attend a relatively good school district with some excellent teachers and support from my highly involved parents. But I still absorbed the stigma of a South Carolina education, and I feel it to this day.

I don’t know when it dawns on most people. By the time you are in high school in South Carolina, surely you are aware of the grim statistics on education here. Year after year, our students rank dead last or close to it on college entrance exams, grade-school standardized tests, and other indicators of education and social mobility.

Tony Goodloe knew it well before he graduated this year from Allendale-Fairfax High School, the only high school in a district along the Georgia border whose name has become a byword for failure. In his junior year, he and the other top-ranking students in his class began to fret about college applications. Beyond the universal stress of adolescence and young adulthood, they had one more thing to worry about: The Allendale County School District was at risk of having its accreditation yanked amid a state takeover. The students feared their high school diplomas might be worth nothing at all once they crossed the county line.

As I crisscrossed the backroads of our state this year, visiting towns I’d never seen before and meeting people whose circumstances I had not often considered, I met dozens of students like Tony in districts big and small who were doing the best they could -- but found themselves trapped and hobbled by the system they were born into. I chose to feature Tony’s story on the first day of our project because it illustrates how a South Carolina education can be an impediment, rather than an engine of progress.

I would never reduce the arc of a person’s life and ambitions to any one factor or limitation. But when I came to this newspaper three years ago, I chose to cover the school beat because I believed quality education could improve and enrich us all. I still believe that. For me, this project is a prayer for change.
