[QUOTE]Originally posted by sudaniya: [QB] I fail to see how this song or its video is profound in the least. What esoteric truths did he reveal in that song? There are underground artists that are so much more adept at conveying truly intelligent, revolutionary, inspirational and uplifting ideas... and they can do that with a soul. If *personalities* like Jay Z, P. Diddy, Dr Dre and the others in Hip-Hop that have ostensibly accrued substantial resources... were as intelligent, ambitious and independent as they would have people believe -- why then do they not combine their wealth and create their own record labels, instead of being mere subsidiaries of far more wealthy and powerful corporations? Even if they did not wish to greatly reconfigure the message (s), the narrative (s), image, directions, trends and its consequences... why not at least aspire to manage, control and profit from it? Answer? Because that would be dangerous, and only that would be worthy of praise, recognition and discussion. Nothing in the mainstream is by accident. Everything has a political dimension; when you have virtually every popular Hip-Hip 'artists' glamorising self-destructive violence, ignorance, stupidity, misogny and infantilisation and looking like unclean human filth as they do it... that has a purpose behind it and people directing it.
