The Status of Hip Hop Today
Allow me to give you my slightly educated opinion on the status of hip hop today. First off, hip hop is no longer a genre that focuses on the artistry of the discipline. Rapping is all about gathering followers and earning money, that’s it. I that there were arguments in the past that rap is separate from hip hop but I disagree. Maybe historically, but certainly not now.
Why Is Hip Hop So Vulgar??
I’m a huge fan of music. Instruments guide my life from day to day. The human voice is also another great instrument that accompanies the sound of a band. With bending vowels and percussive consonants, vocals can give a song fullness and completion. However, most of our hip hop and/or rap songs cover three primary topics; sex, drugs and money. That’s all. I had finally had enough of it when I heard a Black man reciting the lyrics to a song that talked about shooting another Black man and knocking the dreads out of his head. How can you celebrate that??
Who’s That Singing??
Recently, I asked a current rap fan to show me a rap song that he really liked. I was trying to observe this relationship and get a good understanding for why he liked the song. Well, the rapper sang the whole time. He never rapped. I couldn’t even get started with understanding this fan because he thought this singing was rap. We were done with the investigation before it even got started.
