To everybody talking about the current state of hip hop, of course you can’t find uplifting/positive stuff on the radio, we don’t own the stations, the record industry does, and music like this doesn’t serve their agenda. All that being said, respect to the young artists whose names are not known, but are keeping the spirit of this music alive, with their own voice. There’s great music in every era, just gotta look for it these days!
@gregorylagrange3 жыл бұрын
Didn't own the stations then either. Yet this song was able to get on the radio. You can't escape that the audience has dug in deep in embracing a different mindset and way of being. Buffoonery and being a knuckle head is considered the norm, while insightfulness is the outlier. There are plenty of examples of the consumer rejecting an agenda that was brought to the forefront in an attempt to force them to accept it. Black people currently accepting exaggerated tackiness and destructiveness isn't immune to it.
@cawj78963 жыл бұрын
I believed that 20 years ago. I don't now because RadioOne (owned by Cathy Hughes, a Black woman) owns most "Urban" radio stations today. Why then are you still hearing the same garbage on the radio? Because the problem has really never been corporatization. If us the consumers didn't support the garbage they wouldn't play it. So the issue really is the man (or woman) in the mirror.

And the rest was you travelling deep in imagination and private dreams. We underestimate how much the digital world takes away from the present, the imagination and from interactions in the phsyical world. My only medium i use on my phone is youtube and call function btw. But its a collective reality thing.
