Tha Hip Hop Doc

Posted on March 25, 2009

“Tha Hip Hop Doc” is Dr. Rani G. Whitfield, M.D. He’s getting out the message of heart-healthier living in a different way — a hip hop way.

“It’s not just African-Americans I’m speaking to, it’s white, black, Hispanic, Asian; I’m speaking to many groups with the urban concept, the urban message.”

– Dr. Whitfield, from here.

“We’ve got to exercise; we’ve got a silent killer. We’ve got to open our eyes. We’ve got to do our best, to try to manage stress. We’ve got to eat right and keep our bodies tight.”

–Lyrics from Tha Hip Hop Doc’s “Walk Tha Walk” (See music video below).

I like this and I like what “Tha Hip Hop Doc” is doing. I hope his message will help spread the word. For more info on “Tha Hip Hop Doc” read this article or visit his Hip Hop Health Coalition.

Dr. Whitfield seems to really be making an impact with teens and children. If hip-hop can help raise awareness about healthier living, then that’s something special.
