What kind of Revolution is going on over at MTV Studios?
Lupe Fiasco was all over MTV last week, and now Dr. Cornel West is the Artist of the Week???
I don't know whats going on, but I like it. Maybe because it is "Black History Month"
Update: Okay now that I went to MTV and checked for the Artist of the Week, it is because its Black History Month.
"In honor of Black History Month, we’re honoring one of the foremost leaders and thinkers in Black America today: Dr. Cornel West.Click the Link up top to read more about Dr. Cornel West...
Dr. Cornel West is an Ivy League-educated professor of religion and African-American studies at Princeton University. A renown, controversial philosopher, orator, scholar and activist, Dr. West has written close to 20 profoundly influential books on the topics of race, politics, culture and religion, including the best-selling book, Race Matters."

Thats still cool... I guess.
it is most certainly a step up even if they are only doing it because its black history month. hopefully more people will come away wanting to know more about him...bad brains was the artist of the week for a while too which i am also happy about.
i aint cornell west, i am cornell westside
The only thing i didn't like is that they were using Cornel West to promote stuff like MTV Real World/Road Rules Challenge. I wasn't sure how i felt about that haha.
If anyone is interested, my foundation is hosting an event featuring Dr. West as our Guest Speaker on March 28th, 2008 at the Long Island Marriott Hotel. For more information please email ufee@info.org
