Ageism In HIP HOP?
September 20, 2009 THE SOURCE
Ageism in Hip-Hop? Is there room for a new generation of rappers? If
so, what happens to the rappers that came before?
Im a sports fan.
Hard to ignore the hanging banners in arenas , the records that are
meant to be broken and the throwback jerseys. The past is always a
fueled reminder to sell whatever games present and its future. In
music it's the same with Rock, Country and he other genres still going
on. The past is mended with its future. Pop music is an exception,
it's reduction is for quick adolescent selling. Rap music is a 30 year
art-form recording wise now. Its longevity as a genre defies a pop
label, while still being popular.
A new generation of rappers would be welcomed better , if it's
audience had better reference points and infrastructure. The areas of
radio, videoTV, and press have been corrupted by major labels forcing
it's pop sensibilities into a business motif. Ageism has always been
an issue regarding HipHop and other black based music because of lack
of control and disposability factor , but I say art is subjective and
always judged from the ears and eyes of the beholder.
Theres' niches within niches that are waiting to put things in order.
As I stated last year in my construction of a all woman hip hop
supersite coming soon, it will follow the launching of
As of this reading I've launched a supersite internetwork named
www.HIPHOPGODS.com. Its where 'Classic Rap Lives On' following this
will be a partnership with MCLYTE www.hiphopsisters.com the answer in
this is that niche areas will determine the infrastructure of the Rap
world present, future and past.
