This outcome feels inevitable, yet "high performers" often resist it to maintain dominance under the guise of free markets—ignoring that most people in society would prefer to escape the pressures of competing in a system driven by elitism.
What do you think?
In the 20th century, top performers in society or industry, regardless of the advantages behind their success, often shaped the standards and laws for the majority—those with fewer resources to compete.
This diversification forced industries and society to adapt to the changing market, pushing companies and institutions to embrace the masses of "low performers" rather than exclusively catering to high performers.
Our music has always been deep. It’s always been complex and it’s always been soulful/spiritual. We use hip hop to evolve. To protest. To celebrate. Etc. Art/music plays a role in why a lot of us are proud to be black today. Our culture is all through these genres. Don’t let these people brainwash you into disconnecting from the soul of hip hop by convincing you it isn’t cool or it’s “too deep”. It’s always been that deep for us and it should stay that way. We created it! Once we lose the soul we’ve lost the genre.
Nobody should be redefining our art form but us. Anybody talking shit about hip hop that makes you think or makes you feel something— should immediately be recognized as a opp. Ask yourself what they gain from us watering down our music, taking the soul out, only discussing surface level topics and becoming less conscious. Only a specific group of people benefit from us not being introspective.
Tighten up.
Observing ourselves from an overview perspective, as we transition through the many phases of existence, allows us to embrace the full spectrum of our development and not separate this current moment from the full journey.
Haven’t released any creative work in a while. Been challenging myself to grow and stretch my writing abilities on a larger canvas. Took a few years to formulate the concept. The time is now.
Proud to announce, my first literary offering.
Israel Light: Color That God Chose
