Aside from blogging I am doing some "ghostwriting" for a friend of my who would like to have open discussions each week on YouTube. Here's what he will be discussing his first week on YouTube.
In today’s society we live in a world in which people are conditioned to not see the truth. So many people who are in power have a following and an opportunity to uplift those who are following them, but never capitalize on the opportunity. However, those leaders who try to uplift their following by speaking the truth are the many fallen soldiers who are murdered by wicked and delinquent leaders of our nations.
I would like to take this perspective of leaders from a musical stand point since music is the universal language of the world. However I would like to focus on some of the influential pioneers of hip-hop over the past 10-15 years like Jay-Z, Lil’ Wayne, Common, 2Pac, and Nas, and how their careers have been altered through marketing and media. First let’s look at Jay-Z and Lil’ Wayne who has both grown into enormous and dominant figures, yet their music does not encourage or lift people to their full capacity. On the other hand, you have Common who spoke of truth through his music, but now you see him in movies where his words are controlled by a script. 2Pac however was a vigorous force through his compelling thoughts, words, and music, but he’s no longer with us to articulate the truth or share his knowledge. Now, we have Nas who speaks from the heart, but can’t seem to get proper marketing to share his knowledge.
So the questions I ask myself often are: Do the leaders of our nations believe we the people do not want the knowledge or truth? Perhaps this is why the media has so, much control over what we see as people…Or is it easier as a leader to lead the blind? But imagine if all of us as people started to seek the knowledge and truth, and begin to realize how suppressed and oppressed we are as a community, and how much power one leader or leaders have over us as a population.
