Hip hop is the center of attention! My main course of action at this website is to meet and inspire people to listen to more intelligent, more righteous and more interested music in hip hop. This is the bridge between the Commercial world and the Underground.
Image can be misguidance in hip hop. I don't care about the diamonds on your wrist. Managers, investors, producers can corrupt the industry with the media and the mainstream promotion. It's especially easy for children to be influenced by what they see through their television and what they hear on the radio. Radio and TV kills the choice of self-discovery in music, and that is what i am all about. If you sit in front of the TV all day long, you are Ignorant. Make your own choice on what's hot. A TV or a radio only feed you a small limited amout of entertainment and it's prepaid for the artists to have airtime! The same rotation over and over. When an artist's only intention is to entertain for the promotional benefits like money, image and fame, i don't see the heart of it. And that is usually what you find. Artists that is sold to the media and the fame.
Feelings in art should be more selective, and that the artist should be responsible to try to perpetuate the feelings witch he/she feels that would be most beneficial, or the feelings witch will most contribute to a better world. But the media and the people don't always agree with what is happening in the real world. Formally it is artists who try to express them self in a way the media won't promote, that dwell in the darkness of the underground.
Here is a very good example from Masta Ace.
The lyrics in this song goes out to the media and the sell-out's in the hip hop industry.
