Making a Difference With Music

Written on August 13, 2007 – 11:11 pm | by NoSongUnsung |

I was listening to the radio the other day as I exercised and heard a rap song. I have no idea who the artist is or what the title to the song is. All I know is that it talked about getting a girl into bed, getting drunk, and all the money that he had.

Seems like nothing has changed much in the rap industry, eh?

What bothers me the most about this is that young people like these kinds of songs. They are being spoon fed these ideas that money and sex is “cool”.

What happened to speaking and singing from the soul versus doing what an agent or producer says will “sell records”.

It’s time to stop thinking about selling records and start thinking about how we can uplift the spirits of these young souls! We’ve become a nation that lives for the pursuit of money instead of living for the sake of simply enjoying life, spreading love, and making a difference in this world.

Do you think singing about sex, alcohol, and money is making a difference?
