I agree so much with this essay because it really shows what I have been talking about on how rappers today only talk about money, sex and fame. That is way I am so blessed to have role models like Tupac, Kendrick and Kanye to lead the way back into the real world of hip-hop that talks about real life problems and conveys a real message to the listeners.
"The stuff on MTV and the radio can't be called Hip-Hop because the lyrics don't have any meaning or self expression." I found this quote while researching the real definiton of hip-hop and I totally agree with it. You can not say that you are part of the hip-hop culture if your music does not contain any real hip-hop elements such as conveying a real message and art. What some rappers today call art is speaking of money and fame, or how much they are capable of getting, so knowing that there is still people such as Kanye and Kendrick to keep the real world of hip-hop alive gives me hope.
What is Your Opinion?...
