For the Love of Hip Hop Music - MCFC Series 1 pt 1
Can hip hop music include love of oneself, ethnic background, community, family, or education and still thrive in today’s commercial market? Some would say no. Actually most would say no. People today seem to give more thought to what color shoes they would like to wear than who and what they Love. Even in its most popular urban form, Hip Hop, LOVE is as taboo as searching adult sites at work. Both can end your career before it ever even starts. In fact, when asked how they felt about the L word, 4 out of 5 artists said they would love to use “love” in their music but no one would listen if they did. The artist, “Seven da Pantha” stated, “I am what I consider a real emcee. I hold hip hop in the highest regard and give it the utmost respect. Violence, for some reason, is a preferred topic in hip-hop. As a father and leader of a household, I try to be a strong, firm example for my seeds. I always express my love and affection for my wife and children. In my craft though, I rarely feel it appropriate to express my love over a track, although I do proudly. I can talk about self defense with fire-arms and its ok though. The hip hop community as a whole seems to dislike love. Even non hardcore emcees don’t particularly support songs about love. It’s crazy.”
What do you think?
