When Will Rap & Hip Hop Grow Up?
One of my more popular posts over at my other blog, The Good Life, is this one titled, “This Hip-Hop Controversy“. I aired my grievances about hip-hop/rap music and how it just wasn’t inspiring anymore. Granted, there are some great beats and I like to dance or work out to hip-hop, but as far as the words go…bleh.
Well, there are one or two hip-hop artists out there right now who are saying
things that actually mean something. Common is one of those artists who knows how to stimulate a person’s mind. Nas is another. Hmm…who else?
During my early 20’s Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, LL Cool J, and others were always bumpin’ in the club and sure, they had good songs to groove to. However, I’m growing up now and aren’t they too? When will hip-hop grow up? All I’m asking is that we get a few songs that don’t talk about drinking, sex, or how blinged out your car is.
