member darrell dmc mcdaniels. >> i recently released a children's book called darrell's dream. it is about me in the third grade. i wanted to address some of the issues and problems that we as adults experience, especially in this age of mental health, anxiety, pure pressure. a lot of the things that we go through at work and with our family, it all starts in the classroom. if we can start showing these kids that no matter who they are or where they are at in life, they are perfect just the way they are, their freckles, red hair like me, i was bullied because i wear glasses, but who you are is perfect for you to be the person that you were meant to be. it's about purpose and destiny. the beauty of the arts, whether it is a sculpture or play or

hip-hop song, the arts allow us to experience ourselves. kumasi: you have really been open with people, i'm going through some things. therapy has helped me. why is that so important for you to share? >> we have a responsibility to do something to remove the stigma. i am the greatest history in the history of rap, but one of my greatest raps is, if you remove guilt or shame, you remove the pain. people are ashamed to say i have a drug problem, i was abused, i have these mental health issues. if it is not about themselves, they won't even mention my wife, daughter, my son at home. if we don't speak about the things that we go through, we celebrate people when we say i

feel like i can take on the world. i feel like a million bucks. but as soon as the person says i feel depressed, get away from me, weirdo. i talk about it because it is normal to go through things. if we remove the shame, we can remove the pain. i have done it all. grammys, rock and roll hall of fame. but the greatest thing that i have ever done was admit when i'm going through something so that person can say, if the mighty king of rock is telling us that the world can be very tricky and admit something and go get help, maybe i can do the same things. kumasi: loved it. you can see darrell mcdaniels tonight at the st. joseph's art foundation in san francisco. if you want tickets, go to saint

joseph's art society.com. so much to take from that energy. can we talk about, i'm the greatest rapper in the history of rap, and the whole universe. that is the confidence that i'm walking into the rest of the year with. reggie: let other people know about it, write it down. make it real. kumasi: new at 6:00, apple's new creation, kind of like a lamborghini. reggie: the bay area struggling to provide enough vaccination for the monkeypox.

seen this ad? it's not paid for by california tribes. it's paid for by the out of state gambling corporations that wrote prop 27. it doesn't tell you 90% of the profits go to the out of state corporations. a tiny share goes to the homeless, and even less to tribes. and a big loophole says, costs to promote betting reduce money for the tribes, so they get less. hidden agendas. fine print.

loopholes. prop 27. they didn't write it for the tribes or the homeless. they wrote it for themselves. >> building a better bay area. this is abc7news. kumasi: a road rage incident. the police chase through the streets of san francisco. >> this allows us to do a better job of focusing our efforts on prevention and treatment. reggie: a plan of attack for monkeypox. one bay area county with a targeted approach. kumasi: mask on, mask off. on-again, off-again. tonight, where you are going to have to wear yours. reggie: it is honestly so hard to keep track. kumasi: good morning, everybody. reggie: first, we will check your weather with drew
