So last week, KRS One gave a pretty thought provoking lecture at Session A. Some of the things he spoke about were 50 cent (which made many people confused about themselves), some other things about violence, and how rap or hip hop, whichever you prefer, is the long lost brother of the WWF, or WWE (whichever you prefer).
I guess there's a reason why they changed Federation to Entertainment, and why most "musicians" stuck under the tight grip of record labels must live in this crazy world we know as the entertainment business. I can only imagine what this world would be like if it was called the expression business.....or.....how about World Wrestling Expressions, or something. These people are being payed to entertain, payed to give people what they want and what they're used to, which are guns, bling, tig ol' bitties, tailfeathers, supermanning, and fresh fits.
So why do so many people hate on it?
Why is the Game so f***ed up? (interpret that however you want)
Is it because the rap stars do their job and make records about getting shot, so that millions can sell, so that labels stay happy, so that they can make a living, and so that rappers like 50 cent can go home and wish they were underground so he wouldn't have to deal with all these politics?
or is it because people don't buy records that sound like the Procussions, and continue to think that you gotta be hard, and have 30 inch rims (or whatever the new regulation is) in order to be stunting like my daddy, and continue to support the bullsh** that labels (not the artists) push for.
No wonder why people love to be underground and have creative control..........
I really don't feel like typing this up anymore......
I think most should get what i'm trying to say.......(if you want to take it out of the Hip Hop world, a good example is Britney Spears compared to Christina Aguilera, and P!NK)
If you don't, wait till this stop the violence movement hits the masses, and you can follow along with the rest of them in a year or two.......
For those who came out to the lecture, thanks again.....
Not only for the support, but for representing what Session A is really about......
