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
