So I've been in different places without any kind of communications, cable and internet. Sheesh it felt like an electronicless jail. But finally had a hold of some tube (tv with cable) and saw the latest of Rick Ross, Dj Kaled and Drake. They're doing very well as far as droppin "Im on One" nice.... The beat is original and fire. Make you want to just bob your head , and the lyrics give you the feeling of holding a mean look. But any ways we've been under a rock long enough and want to get back to our music. Music lives in everyone. It changes our emotions, depending on the person depends on the music we listen to. But when you make it and and love making it becomes a different side of the curtain. To have different people listen to your music and love it eventhough its not their cup of tea, it inspires you to get in the studio and create another song. Alot of people want to become lyrical artists and spend money on getting in the studio and try to spit the hottest tracks. But the thing is you have to have the right talent, the image, the personality for it. You need to be a whole package in order to get signed. Once you're in, the ball is no longer in your court but still stays in your hands. You become a puppet. Untill you have no more contracts and your on your own two feet with serious money in you account/s. Then you run the show. Thats why you should do it because you love do it. Dont expect the riches, enjoy it. I hope that when we start getting our names out, that we just keep it simple. If serious money does start raking then the strategy would have to step up to more then simple. But stay you. You is what keeps you sane and not with a hand up your rear end.

Hip Hop "The True Meaning"



Hip hop, the word itself means so many different things to so many different people. From your average high school student you might hear the words style, experiences, and the streets. But from a the teacher you might hear the words drugs, violence, and negativity. Where does one draw the line between music and word spoken for derogatory purposes.
In a way hip hop can be compared to everything in life. For example, one might think that the sunrise is beautiful brightness and the start of a new day, where another might see it as darkness and the end of another day. In retrospect it all depends on where you're standing in this world of music.
Surely hip hop has changed since its debut in the 1980's. I recall it being more positive in promoting self awareness and attempting to uplift the community. To me now it's the complete opposite but you can still find traces of its essence in some hip hop music released today.
So I guess the only way anybody can find the true meaning of hip hop is perhaps taking a listen to it with an opened mind and without any premeditated thoughts or opinions of dislike. Then and only then, will you find the true meaning of hip hop.
