Back in the day when Hip hop was originated MC's weren't just men/women talking about the amount of money they had or the cars that they drove...... they were more so activist for the social in betterment of their environment....they spoke for the rights of their people and called for the righting of all that was wrong with their society.......in the present day this sentiment as fallen to the wayside and Hip Hop has become a commercialized venue in which to create revenue for big labels by means of portraying stereotypes that are said to be found in our community.
Rhymefest is one of the few artist that stands alone in this great community that we call Hip Hop and still is that social activist that we so desperately need!
Check this video out:
If we could get more people like this in Hip Hop we could really turn our communities around....but would people listen is the real question .....because it's not talking about "All White Bricks" [[That's Gucci Mane for those who don't know....and if you don't that fine because that type of music is garbage! ]]
Anyway we need to further our education and further our communities people.......or we will be stuck perpetuating the same cycles generation after generation!
