When Globalization Struck Hip Hop

The main reason I joined this site is i've enjoyed AZ's music since my first listen to Illmatic. Since then i've enjoyed watching this artist grow, change, and transcend in a  liquid game.

My secondary reason is my belief that if we support artists we enjoy, we may not be able to force Drake, Lil Wayne, and the other pseudo artists out, but we can slide some true talent in.

If we give up, we'll be stuck with BET/HOT 97, etc. brainwashing, and listening to our old school records wishing today was yesterday.(which is kind of where i'm at now). This to me means we will lose another generation to ignorance, because music teaches and entertains.

The most positive thing I can say after starting 2010 in Brooklyn, now back in DC, is that I really appreciate when an AZ album comes out because I can tell by the attention to detail that love, time and thought have gone into each work. I say this not knowing the brother or his crew, but wishing Quiet Money and all who read this the best in 2010.

Peace

The two most important trends of the decade we're just starting:

Change: The infrastructure of massive connection is now real. People around the world have cell phones. The first internet generation is old enough to spend money, go to work and build companies. Industries are being built every day (and old ones are fading). The revolution is in full swing, and an entire generation is eager to change everything because of it. Hint: it won't look like the last one with a few bells and whistles added.

Frustration: Baby boomers are getting old. Dreams are fading, and so is health. Boomers love to whine and love to imagine that they'll live forever and accomplish everything. This is the decade that reality kicks in. And, to top it off, savings are thin and resource availability isn't what it used to be. A lot of people ate their emergency rations during the last decade. Look for this frustration to be acted out in public, and often. 

The coolest thing is that just about everyone gets to pick which one of these two alternatives they want to spend their time on. And being frustrated about change doesn't count as doing both.

"Quick Fact: The Super Successful always do what everyone is afraid to do and/or  clueless too.. 
Many Blessings and Super Success to all  those who plan to give success a try this decade. It's grinding season ... Let's Go! "
