Re: HipHop and social r/evolution [Re: atomikfunksoldier]

Awesome post, atomik!

Yes indeed, if there's any type of social revolution going on right now hiphop is a major part of it. There's two ends of the spectrum though. On one hand you have commercial rap, which is all about money and image. And on the other hand you've got underground hiphop, keeping the ideals and roots of the (counter?)culture alive and kickin. Rock was lost long ago as any type of leading beacon of social evolution. Just as hiphop will eventually lose its way, it's inevitable.

As much as I love hiphop, I'm an even bigger electronic music fan. I think the culture surrounding EM is also for the most part very positive. Since it mostly has no lyrics it's kind of a "faceless" or egoless genre too. Most artists are in it for the music rather than image, moreso than other popular genres of music. And don't say it takes no talent to make, cause I too have been trying for years to make something sound remotely good but have yet to come out with anything decent.

Anyway, I would give this thread 5 shrooms if only I knew how...  :grin: :confused: :wink:

only because you see it as "giving up"
as if there were something to give up
judging whether life is worth living is a personal matter
how nice of you to pass judgement
