Mental Stability VS. The Media

Some experts say the media desensitizes people with mixed messages in context, words that have minorities, in particular, asking the question “why?” In today’s case, it just feels like history is slowly repeating itself. From a white woman claiming to be black and taking a high position in the NAACP to a young lost man hiding in plain sight to terrorize a local church in Charleston, SC. What is the media telling us right now? It feels like there is no new future or progress in us, as people. We all, as one, try so hard to live day to day with nothing but love in our hearts for others. The word “Hate” doesn’t seem strong enough to have an effect on the world, but it really does initiate an opposition to love, breaking down the term and its meaning in general. I’m noticing through social media that people are lashing out against all of this oppression and in times like this we need to all come together and show some justice to all these heinous crimes. We are tired of it all, simple as that and nothing I can say can change anything. This is my open prayer to the people of the world far and wide: the mental destruction of our people is near. The word “love” is starting to leave our minds like a faded memory. It’s going to be hard to reach for this Utopian world that we want when we have demons that are willing to slaughter God’s children in his own home. Hope is not even the beginning of what we can do, especially for minorities that are falling off the edge of the world’s mental dexterity. I pray for our children the most because they don’t deserve this. They don’t need to be subject to all of our killings that are being displayed on the news/media on a daily basis. I’m just another man, not just sitting here reporting on the news, but to give an outlook on the future. Everyone is here to protect our future and for that we need to recognize the evils in the world. The economic demons that walk among us that take our resources without consent. Condemning the wrongful and priding the uncontrollable because of a badge. The low income families and the people that are a product of the environment. This causes an adaptation of “survival instincts” and nothing else matters to them but the future. It starts with all of us, all of you, and it ends with our children, our future.

New Orleans, a cultural south like no other filled with food, southern jazz, and most importantly the people.The cities culture is well versed throughout america for it's wide range of appeal, but one that stands out the most is the disaster that devastated the morale of the people about ten years ago. It was known as Hurricane Katrina, a menacing force of mother nature that swept across New Orleans like a plague of locus. At that time no one would even fathom the thought of was it would be like 10 years from now. Hope was lost, Bush wasn't making it any better with his lack of effort, and many lives of families being broken into pieces. For Lil Wayne it's for certain he bleeds the same blood Louisiana did on that day. He's always been (as of late) critiqued for his lyrics as just another overhyped rapper, but there's more to his journey that seems untapped for the social media eye. He loves his city and constantly fights with america to represent it. He doesn't wave a flag, he steps on it to hold a weight on the world of the misrepresentation of his city and his people. Songs like "Tie my Hands" is a perfect example of a overlooked Lil Wayne buzz. It was a prominent single, but did not garner the attention it was needed with the message that was growing underneath. Till this day Wayne makes an effort to celebrate his Louisiana pride through music and the people he came through the trenches with. The ten year anniversary of Katrina is being celebrated this year with uplifting the community with the "Lil Weezyana" festival on August 28, 2015. It's bringing a forefront to the New Orleans hip hop community, stating that the love from the home roots of these artist have never left. The Hotboys will be reunited onstage aside a slew of others, minus member BG who is incarcerated. Hopefully we'll get a No Limit  get together on the same stage. This is a huge step for the city and hopefully a huge step to start other uplifting things to happen in Louisiana. Recently artist August Alsina attempted to do something for his city addressing the murders and to give hope back. That didn't happen because of city politics, but with the "Lil Weezyana" fest this maybe a door opened for something further positive for the future endeavors of home-based artist. It's great to see artist not only take a positive outlook on their home, but to pave a way for others to do the same. The stage is set through Wayne right now for Louisiana and he's willing to share it with all his brethren. You can follow me on twitter @2Chilllllllll

Farrakhan Inspires through Hip Hop

The honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan is taking steps to be prominent leader in world today. A lost world in where he notices the youth are misrepresenting their self-worth in this socially economic era. Minister Farrakhan has been very straight forward in his interviews and state-to-state speakings as of late. There is something else he realizes at the age of 82 and that is people in hip hop/music in general are the world’s biggest influencers today. He wants to carry this message and spread it through the artist of today.

I can’t tell where it starts, but I can tell you where his influence starts to hold weight especially in the hip hop community. He recognizes the movement in artist in different parts of the states like Young Thug, GBE’s Fredo Santana, and a host of others that were approached by the minister. Every encounter I notice something in the artist that was once lost within them and the source of it is a feeling of entitlement. Realizing that their purpose is deeper than the music, but the people that follows their movement.

These artist either local or signed have these loyal following that the fans give them, sometimes they are more of a cult following than others. Farrakhan is clear that they will be in the forefront in the future and is reaching out the best way possible. Its more than going to different households making connections, but thru the entertainment source that people culturally have a voice. The artist themselves I feel are getting this message and some are taking steps to make that leadership bestowed upon them to spread through the people.
