For purposes of context: the Nas song (from his album released in early 2005) was about current African-American "role models" who fail to "give back to the hood."
I was curious if Mr. Diggs believes the creation of his new dance company may help young minorities see him in a better light following the tarnishing of his image/street credibility by Queens rapper Nas in the "Our Heroes" song from his last album?
