VIDEO TRAPPED THE RAPPER
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
The “philosophy” behind this tour is this:
Hiphop is today as popular as its ever been. At the same time, the essence of Hiphop, particularly the art of Emceeing is being washed over and seemingly dumbed down. Many would say the inception of over-priced, over-produced, misogynistic videos are contributing to this decline. I'm sure you've noticed the video outlets only allowing videos that generally consists of a massed produced carbon copy “rapper” equipped with gun toting lyrics, fake thug tales, allusions to famous “rappers” cats don’t know, and the biggest violation of all: BITING.
And honestly, its not about hating..
The goal of this tour is to expose true lyricism and music by artists that have integrity, daring, and unflintching independence in their craft.
