Well it is true that he has not gotten as much support now as he used to; hopefully this hommie will soon. In end why not bring Mike Jones!? next "WHo!?"

I am born and raised in Fresno, and whenever something like this happens I think its great. I think that it is a great way to get Fresno State on the map, and bring in many more things. I also think that it is a great way to get the youth in the area involved with Fresno State! I just got this….. but the way I felt about it, was good.

I listen to rap music, but chingy was like a couple of years ago and he wasn't even that good a couple of years ago. But for fresno state, i guess he will be big and good for this college, because this college iz kinda weak too. His message or issues need to be heard, so people need to go see him when he comes.

A performer of his caliber coming to our school will give our dead campus an exciting event to attend. I hope he performs after he discusses some issues. I think chingy coming to our campus is huge.

Being a single mom and having children of my own. I felt I needed to find out what Hip Hop was really about and inquire about the music that my children listen to on the radio and on television. Sometimes people need to realize that sometime throughtout their life that there needs to be a change. Chingy coming to California State University of Fresno is a great opportunity for parents and the community to get a chance to find out about the hip hop culture. I feel having an event like that will open doors for Fresno State and for the community. My shot goes out to Dr. Bailey and the Hip Hop industry. Keep your head up and try to make a POSITIVE influence on the children of the World. The Children are the generation that going to have to lead this world. Everyone should ask themself this question, "If I just could just could have one positive influence on just one person life, what a change that would be?" LET'S MAKE A CHANGE!!!!!!

Taking this class has helped open my mind to hip hop, and to its affect on the world as we know it. I believe that Chingy's visit, and the discussion that will ensue at Thursday's event, will be a great learning experience for invidivuals like myself, who have never had real exposure to true hip hop or been aware of its impact on all of our lives.

It just goes to show their are still celebs that have character and want appeal to their fan base. It makes me think more highly of him. Any im ganna be there!

Honestly, I'm not a fan of Chingy's music. The only song I've heard is Pulling me Back, thats because my sister would always listen to it. What I really admire about Chingy is that apart from being an internationally acclaimed artist, he helped found an organization that helps children in need. I believe the Chingy for Change Foundation offers scholarships for underpriveledged children...anything that will help them succeed academically because that is one of their main objectives. And...I think its great that Chingy will come and fill Fresno State with his postive vibe.

I also believe that any event brought onto the campus brings the campus to life and breaks many habits of students just passing by. When there are events held here, it entertains people and also give them a reason to stay on campus. If people are the busy bees that many look like, I assume most students simply come to school and leave after classes. Different events may attract different people, and hopefully this one will attract all people. Even if it is not the right stuff for anyone, it is still worth checking out whether you're a fan or not. Anyone spitting a flow that is in mainstream music should be pretty entertaining. Come on, there's got to be a point in life when you like it how it do right thurr right thurr. Whatever the event is, hopefully everyone is optimistic about it and that it can be enjoyable. If Chingy is not the right scene for anyone, they can try to host their own event. Thanks Dr. Bailey!

I think it will open the eyes and hearts of a lot of people here at fresno state who doubt that something dealing with hip hop and the black community can actually be accomplished. so this is just a comment on thanking you Dr. Bailey for the opportunity you are bringing to Fresno State for the African American and Indies studies major. Thank you Dr. Bailey

I am planning on attending the event, if I can swing it, and my daughter and a friend plan to join me! I think it will be an enlightenting event and an experience that all can enjoy in one form or another.
