Wise Words From Jay Z

"This is why the hustler's story- through hip-hop - has connected with a global audience. The deeper we get into those sidewalk cracks and into the mind of the young hustler trying to find his fortune there, the closer we get to the ultimate human story, the story of struggle, which is what defines us all."

gawd i love hip hop. this is what i try to explain to the naysayers who tell me how crass and awful the genre is...nah, i just find a primal instinct behind it all; the NEED to succeed and be the best which is emphasised in every song. it's so shameless that i just love it; just listen to Clique, and specifically kanye's part...his verse just hits me hard for some reason, and this is something i can't find in any other genre because hip hop is so flexible these days that it incorporates EVERYTHING and EVERYONE.

You gotta wonder if the
You gotta wonder if the rapping about suffering is a form of catharsis for the rappers. Ken Wilber says: "when we talk about our demons + we objectify them. We rob them of their power". So perhaps actually rapping about their problems, actually helps them and comes off congruent. Most of the best raps songs have a level of angst about them. The rappers with the most life trauma seem to be the best. Eminem, 50 cent, Dre etc.
Not sure I agree about the suffering being beutiful aspect BG. Pain is apart of life and you will experience pain no matter what. Suffering however is optional.
Suffering is Pain + Resistance.
Just let go.
