Since I did not catch this when it first came out, I’ve got to give my 2 cents now. Because I think most people like me were not aware of this and the way it shook up things in the music world some months back.

First check out Nick Cannon’s web site. Where he is still promoting the track “Can I Live”. Watch the video of the track there.

Basically this is a fantastic pro-life message. Apparently this song came out about 6 months ago or so and was praised by some Pro-Life blogs then. Of course this caused a stir in the mostly Liberal entertainment business and Liberal blogs were in disbelief that a fairly well known Hip Hop/R&B artist would actually show his mother appreciation for not aborting him killing him in the womb. As a result of the Liberal backlash and efforts by pro-lifers to embrace the effort, Nick took a bit of an “on the fence” stance. He mentioned afterwards that the issue of abortion (baby killing) is a personal decision and he was just speaking for his own situation. He did not want to be labeled as a pro-lifer. Regardless I say well done Nick. I can’t say I’m a fan of every one of his efforts. Like when he worked with “accused” child molester R. Kelly on this piece of trash. But it seems he got one right and I pray he does more similar efforts like “Can I Live”. You usually know you’re making a song that is “good” when you can put your own mother in the video!

On his other web site, he’s selling “Can I Live” T-Shirts. His video is full of kids wearing them. I think the message is clear that Nick is Pro-Life, but fears what it could do to his career. I feel his “Can I Live” efforts should be supported.

If you don’t know who Nick Cannon is, do you remember the movie Drumline? He’s the guy who was the star of that movie.
