There was a serious message last night at the MTV Video Music Awards. Taking the stage, musician Common led the audience in a moment of silence. Before they bowed their heads, he spoke about the recent events that have been unfolding after Michael Brown’s shooting death: “For the past two weeks the eyes of the nation have been on Ferguson, Missouri.” He went on to say how many have “used their voices to call for justice and change.” Common paused and then said, “Every one of out lives matters. Hip hop has always been about truth… hip-hop has always presented a voice for the revolution. I want us all to take a moment of silence for Mike, for peace in our country and the world.” What are your thoughts on how MTV handled this?
