"TALK TO ME" VOIDS THE NOTION THAT HIP-HOP ARTISTS ARE INHUMAN THUGS.

Hip-hop artist REEF THE LOST CAUZE spits a rhyme about his child's autism. The song, "Talk to Me" is nothing if not compassionate, warm, like a father should be a young child. REEF didn't set out to turn the song into a public awareness campaign (although i dont know REEF personally). But the grace with which REEF treats the lyrics reveal no ingenious sap as some of the Hollywood players treat certain illnesses. They want a pat on the back, and they want to get the hell away from their sick child. REEF did what the best hip-hop artist do. He wrote a rhyme about a topic near his heart and/or mind. And, excuse the phrase, REEF kept it Real.
