Literacy attack is what sells in South Africa, you see alot of the artists rapping NO-SENSE and still get airplay whereever they go. Real artists are being oppressed by media and when you air your concerns you are being labelled as a hater( a new word mostly used by bimboes). We will continue to rise.

Just when we think that Hip-Hop might be rotting in it's grave, McDonald's pops up with a creepy bug eyed black chick rapping on a shuttle bus about breakfast burritos. Can anyone tell me why an "American Institution" like McDonald's has to resort to thumping rhymes (poorly done on top of it all) to pimp their food? It seems that McD has been catering to the black community for a while now, with the baggy pants, sideways hats, shirts 5 sizes too big, etc. Why would a company like this cater to 12% of the population? Seems to be poor decision making on their part. I'll go to Wendy's..... But wait a minute!

The problem is that this new generation of Hip-Hop heads are only taking what the media feeds them. They're part of a feedback loop that emulates everything that the corperate heads think they like. All they're are doing is trying to validate themselves. I am part of this new generation as well, but if it wasn't for my brother putting me up on Gang Starr, Group Home, Masta Ace, or even skate videos that played underground, I wouldn't be an MC today most likely. I just turned 21 and I think for younger artists like us its just hard to reach everyone, especially since everyone is a rapper now. I take it seriously, but people don't take my music seriously because I'm not spitting the new format. Plus, I'm from San Diego. We aren't really known for our Hip-Hop. Maybe LA or the Bay, but thats about it. We do need some time to rise up though. My and my friend are coming out with an album soon. We haven't named it officially, but our group name is the "Introvertz." But yeah, I mean its a struggle. People don't want to listen to music thats political, conceptual, or any of that anymore. Its hard coming up. It’s not dead yet. The problem is that this new generation of Hip-Hop heads are only taking what the media feeds them.

Kids might surprise us yet in a few generations. Just gotta give'm some time to redefine the whole thing. It might not be called hip hop but it may feel the same. ..oh, I just realized this was posted in 02, ah well. I still feel it. Nice. too many points to hit, but they all ring true.
