I love hip-hop. I embrace hip-hop with a passion because it displayed the culture of my generation to the utmost (5 Elements of Hip-Hop). The hip - hop culture was / is unique, passionate, and life altering for most people. Initially, no one thought that hip -hop would evolve into what it has become today. For some, it has become larger than life. For others however it has become an aspiring career especially the youth of today. A lot of students that I encounter want to be a hip - hop artist because they want to become rich and famous. I have nothing against becoming rich and famous, but if you are going to enter this arena, you need to know how the business works!!!!!!

ReplyDeleteThe rap career is a waste of time because of all the different hoops you have to jump through to make money.

ReplyDeleteOdell: I feel people need to take care of their business first before buying diamonds. Also if you get millions of dollars at least invest so you can keep money flowing even if the money run out from music the can have a back up.
