Music sometimes can be a touchy subject, don’t believe me just ask any fan of hip hop who their top five is. Earlier this week I caught wind of Dee -1 comments on Sway in the Morning about “disappointing grown ups,” challenging Jim Jones, Rick Ross, and Meek Mill about their “lyrical content,” and the hypocrisy in the music industry. Though I don’t have all the answers, I challenge myself and the readers of this article to think how hip hop could change.
That being said, music is subjective to the person that is listening and we all have opinions. Hopefully this challenge will have us to examine the unbalanced and lack of diversity in the music played on the airwaves and pushed from corporate media outlets. With sales down in hip hop genre maybe we could see some changes coming sooner than later.
