Message: [QUOTE="Scorpio, post: 16194, member: 4"] [USER=27]@Queen[/USER] the music industry and social media are to blame for people not having the attention span to digest music as art. Many feel like Rap music is solely entertainment yet it has the ability to be so much more than what it is. This reminds me of one video I watched on YouTube when Dr. Jawanza Kunjufu was talking about [I]Developing Positive Self-images in Black Children[/I] and how it all ties up with some of these rappers' troubled upbringing i.e. things such as neglect, abuse, or childhood trauma. [MEDIA=youtube]3vAWg90i2C8[/MEDIA] Even Dr. Umar Johnson once mentioned the main traits of [I]thug energy[/I] are anger and pain which also supports some of the points Dr. Jawanza Kunjufu said a long-time ago in the 80s.
