Just posted this on a great blog...

Check the question here

below is my response:

In my humble opinion... Hip Hop is advancing from a musical standpoint. The roots of the genre are so simplistic and replicable that modern day artists are in search of an avenue by which to propel the scene/culture forward. This means application of outside genre, melody and theory. The same trend took place in rock during the early-mid 70's when "art rock" bands like Pink Floyd attempted to extend the creative lengths of the art form. Keep in mind that rock is a genre who's origins are as simple as the four bar blues, so their movement was significant. We now have a flurry of rock genres, from alternative to indie, but the fact remains that it's still rock and roll. I think that hip hop is headed in the same direction.. Sub genre & massive cultural impact. Those who complain about the transformation and trend will be left behind because the past will not return and in all honesty, why should we want it to? Why not love forward movement?

Peace.

Celebrity?

I have absolutely no idea what it feels like to be famous, much less a person of popular interest. There is no formula that can determine the impact of celebrity on an individual. The recent events surrounding Mr. Kanye West have inspired a great deal of thought and confusion. Musically, I consider him one of the most influential musicians of the 00's. He has almost single handedly inspired progression in what was becoming a relatively stale genre. On the other hand, he seems to be a social wrecking ball. A deeply saddened individual, hell bent on gaining the approval of all those who cross his path. As much as I would like to view his shortcomings as a personality flaw, the fact of the matter is that his behavior is a result of something that he learned in his childhood. Somewhere along the line Mr. West felt inadequate, so much that it haunts him to this day even though he is one of the most successful entertainers alive.

I would be lying if I claimed to not have aspirations of reaching a celebrity-like level of success. That being said, I can't help but wonder what skeletons might creep out of my closet. We have all learned to behave a certain way as a result of pain...

been a minute... here's the scoop...

Life is somewhat polarizing these days. On one end of the spectrum I am experiencing a lot of success in my professional life, on the other end I recently got the news that my mom is on the verge of paralyzation and will be undergoing emergency surgery this Thursday. There are a lot of details regarding her experiences that I won't share out of respect for her privacy, but let's just say the whole situation has taken a toll on my heart. She is so strong. Never complains, not once. To say the least I am proud to know that she is the cloth from which I am cut. She is the most important person in my life.

Whether you pray, think, or meditate... please send your best towards my hero this week.
