What does this topic mean to you?
Personally, I’m a huge fan of rap as you can tell that’s what I do in my spare time. I see it a necessity where I can express myself.
How are you connected to this topic?
My favorite rapper is Lil Wayne who inspires me in my music.
Do you have first-hand experience with the topic?
Yes I rap and produce music on a daily basis, and my dream is to make it big, collaborate with many of the artists I play non-stop and perform my music for the world and so far I have many fans and friends that are supporting me and the albums that I’ve been releasing.
How long have you been connected with/affected by this topic?
How long have you been connected with/affected by this topic?
Well I was born in a world of music. My family is greatly tuned in to music. My mother knows many songs and my father is part of the pioneer Hip-Hop group, The Sugar Hill Gang. Music is in my blood. Period.
Do you think this is a serious problem, or something that can be put off?
Honestly, I spit what I feel. I rap about having a good time, going through hard times and living life. Nothing I rap is about the negativity of the world rather how we can overcome negativity. But, Everyone is entitled to their opinion.
What are your thoughts on how to improve the problem?
Parents should be more aware of the type of music their kids are listening to as long as they are leaving under their roof. But after that people have their own choice to listen to what they want, you can’t really control what people want to hear. The more yu make it an issue in society that rap is negative; the more rebellious people get to find way to listen to those types of music.
What are your thoughts on the opposing views?
People are entitled in their own opinion. If they don’t like rap that’s their issue but to me I believe that the older generations are the ones degrading it. Making it seems like it’s a negative epidemic taking over the entertainment industry
