Imagine a world without Hip Hop

[TEH]

Repped for #4

Hip hop is still a voice for the voiceless underground and in many countries and and it’s greatest contribution to music overall.

It changed two generations going on three generations by speaking up and making people outside of cities and poverty and oppression and the hand of racism in general wake up to how young and particularly black youth feel and what steps we need to take for the future.

Also by this voice it empowered many to be rich and find a way out of their circumstances.

After all this fukkery dies down it can still always go back to that in the mainstream.

I really hope that happens, my man. I doubt it though because like I said elsewhere hiphop was turned out and weaponized long, long ago and what we know of the art is no longer that at all. Its like a zombie in that sense.

It is very interesting though, neurologically speaking, why rap is the voice of the voiceless when they could easily write other forms of protest songs. Globally though there is something about dropping a hot 16 that vents how you feel that just speaks to people directly in their soul way more than any other style of verse.

A world without Hip-Hop is not really problematic.

If you say a world without black music, that would be way different.

Maybe we would still have a powerful and vibrant RnB. I'll take that world then.

It would be a very boring world

No.

A world where Funk, Soul and RnB exist can't be very boring. Not possible.

Can you even imagine that? Would such a thing even be possible? Music itself is spiritual. The right tune can take you to a higher level and you can trace back pretty much all forms of popular music to some level of Black influence. Its very interesting how all cultures, irrespective of race, have their folk songs and native instruments/rhythms though.

Makes a lot of sense when you consider that all of life is vibration. Also makes that Chappelle sketch that birthed so much deeper.

Basically the world Spike depicted in Mo Better Blues

Music is BOTH wonderful and dangerous. It's in one word powerful.

nikkas would still be stunting in old schools but to Frankie Beverly and Maze. Only difference I see is less aggression and more love.

[Hoodoo Child]

Probably be better

More young black men staying in school and focusing on college or a trade

And more black Musicians/Virtuosos

 

[cyndaquil]

Hip hop has for the most part been a minstrel show just with actual black people

You do this in every thread...
When did you stop listening? When you turned 40 ?
