The Myth of the Hip Hop Protest
Most people think that Hip Hop is not good but I have new for people who think that. Yes it’s true some Hip Hop artist are bad with someone of the words they chooses to say, but it’s that free of speech, yes I can say children watch television and pick up the word but I also think that it is up to the parents to allow them to have the control because if that child did not have it then we can assume that they are not listen to curses and watching the beating or the dirty dancing parents need to take control of there children. I was listen to the radio one morning and Kany west I he were saying these word “ look what they are doing us sending our family to war, the rich is getting richer and the middle class people are know becoming poor, the economy is down, everyday people are losing there jobs etc and what are we suppose to do, then he went on to say that we as artist need to start given back to the middle class people. Our ancestor died for us to have the right to vote, the right to protest etc, in this day and age I look back and I say things were really hard then and today isn’t that but what if history repeat itself. Look at us know Obama is priedent of the U.S, know we can say to ourselves if he can do it then we do not cannot say we cannot not make it this life. Back to what I was listen to that morning, he went on to say I will get as many people I know to help me give back to those who needed. Then a couple of days later he went to a show and someone was taken picture of him and he said nicely can you please stop taken picture he said it more then once and then a few seconds later he punch the guy in his face. I believe that Kany West had the right to do so because he ask nicely and this new cass did not back down, next thing you see he is arrested for hitting someone, as we all know recently his mom passed away and he blame himself for her death. Kany states that we will not settle for noting less but what is right.
