wHAT Happen tO hIp hOP

Any way to my next subject lets talk about monkey see monkey do monkey get a whipping too.

So I am listening to this CD that a friend of my mine told me to listen to. It’s not gospel but it’s not rap it’s just music. As I listened to the CD I felt if some one had diarrhea of the mouth it seemed as if the psalmist or rapper was just saying what ever came to mind.
In my person opinion it was neither lyrics intelligence nor any thoughts taken to make the CD.
I spoke with my friend and she said the dude is talented and mad smart I was fighting everything in my power not to tell her what I really thought. She was telling me how the dude was a bum and how he made it and I’m thinking he did not make it, he just escaped the reality.

My personal opinion is to make it is to learn and then teach. To make it is to be informed and act. To make it is to decide that your life will not be the same. To make it is not to forget where you came from but know when it’s ok to leave what you came from. To make is the ability not to give more of the same.

Through out the young mans CD he talked about him self and talked about music, crying what happen to music, saying he do not care about the money but he cares about the music, he cared about getting back to the basics.
Well back to the basics is writing songs with meaning, back to the basics do not include filler words to take up line space just so it can look like a real album. When music was first created it was intended to calm the spirits. The task of music was to send a message that of peace, that of love and that of joy. Music then evolved and then told stories, stories of defeat those of heroics, and triumph. Music spoke of prophetic structure of hope for the future, depicted a journey that one had taken. I am tired of writing of I am tired of thinking about it because I am getting upset about something that I am not in but for you who read this pass it along. These young boys did not Kill Hip hop older guy Killed Hip Hop along time ago. Hip hop was killed when the message was lost. Hip hop ended when rappers thought it was more important to brag about their money and cars, and degrade females by calling them female dogs, We lost hip hop when we gave up on the movement and lost sight of the promise land. We gave up on Hip hop when we as listeners supported and and allowed it . We gave up on our selves we gave up on reality
