IS YUNG JOC FOLLOWING IN AKON'S FOOTSTEPS??

By L.T. Dinwiddie
I constantly get tips all the time from groupies, industry insiders etc, trying to put somebody on blast for some ridiculous reason or another. Most stories I tend to ignore, however, this one seems to be one of the more alarming tips I got over the weekend. In this picture obtained exclusively by O1LT.com, you have one of Atlanta’s more popular rappers—Young Joc groping what appears to be a very young female fan.

While I am unable to confirm the girls age, I’m told that she is 16 years old. I have to admit that she does appear to be very young looking in the face. And while that is alarming in it self, what is more troubling is that she appears to be completely unfazed by his inappropriate gesture.

It seems that every since Russell Simmons and others showed up on The Oprah Winfrey Show two weeks ago trying to protect rappers, producers, and the everyday “poets” who are apart of the hip-hop culture. Hip-hop continues to be on the defense.

For every move Russell makes in an attempt to dispel the negativity surrounding one of the world’s most popular cultures. Somebody from inside the rap game countermoves his efforts and ultimately shines the light even brighter on the multi-billon dollar industry.

It’s examples like these that make it hard for rappers, radio stations, and even society to truly understand the significance regarding women and their argument over how they are portrayed in Hip-Hop. Show me 5 girls who are appalled by this photograph and I will show you 10 more who wouldn’t be. If anything they would want to be in the picture with him.
