Rap, the one music style I never liked and never listened too, today I took my time and listened to the rapper Eminem for the first time. I am not too old to be open-minded; art comes in many forms and ways, some of them I might not understand.
Standing up for what we believe, that’s not that always easy. I admire people who are not afraid to speak up; it does come with consequences. The RIGHT fans don’t take criticism very well.
I lost followers and readers when I started to share my human and political beliefs. I didn’t care. I never blogged and wrote for numbers -never cared for statistics, it didn’t bother me much. Not saying what I have to say, would feel like selling my soul. My soul is not for sale!
In 20 years, when somebody will ask me. “Back then did you do something,” I will hold my head up high and will answer, “Yes, nothing big, but I spoke up.”
Sticking my head in the sand, that’s just not me. “There is nothing we can do,” that’s a sentence I have often heard during the last 10 months.
Why do I get involved? Why do I speak up? Why will some of us never be quiet?
That’s why!
Kudos Eminem! Well done!
Eminen is one of the greatest rapper he was the one who made me love rapping too
interesting post, you’d love my recent post !!
I bet I would
Have you never heard of conscientious rap before
Seriously
There is a difference between “hearing” and actually listening.
Bravo to both you and Eminem.
I admire your approach. But I still think rap is rubbish though 😉
That’s alright, other’s will think of your music the same way. 🙂
Precisely. That difference is what is so good about humans and their tastes. It would be very boring if we all liked the same thing
“Yes, nothing big, but I spoke up.”
Awesome! And speaking up is the most powerful weapon!
It still is!
haha welcome to rap culture, where the medium has always been used as a form of resistance . Happy to see you post it here <3
I love Eminem…he’s awesome.
Yeaaaah … but I still don’t like rap or Eminen.
Right now I love everybody who stands up and speaks up. There are many platforms for travelers, I don’t have to be on each one of them. 🙂 Rap is not my music style, but I like that piece. Freestyle rap, never even heard of it. He uses his voice and I admire him for it, if I could I would thank him.
monkey all in for do something.
You’re right. I am somebody. I should do something.
It’s a provocative quote, isn’t it?
Wow! First time I’ve seen it. Where are we all heading? :'( Thanks for speaking up and for posting this.
