Hi all.
Unfortunately, I've been working 14 hour shifts for the past few days so I've been unable to keep the blogs as consistent as I would like.
Anyway, with some more interesting dialect, there has been a continuous downfall in hip-hop music for the past 5+ years and although there have been a select few of rappers coming out that seem to be making a change, there is still the overpowering of weakness that flood radio stations and other media outlets.
Thankfully, Nas has taken an actual step toward confronting this problem.
Even though the clip is intended for comedic purposes, there is truth that is connected behind the video.
Music has always been about self-expression but lately, the hip-hop community has steered more toward the tangible objects that we possess rather than real-life issues and situations.
Every rapper doesn't own a Maybach and most rappers lease their jewelry anyway.
Yea it's fun to talk about the nice things we have but in order to change the perception and stereotypes that have come with hip-hop, things need to change.
Thank you Nas for shedding some light on the destructive road we (hip-hop connoisseur's) are placing ourselves on.
Enjoy
