Does this sound familiar?
“Grammy Award winning hip hop artist (fill in the blank) has been arrested again for (fill in the blank)”. Regardless of the level of success these artists have accomplished, many cannot free themselves from the shackles of the streets. Either by association with people who still live that lifestyle, the “I’m rich and above the law” mentality, or I need to get in trouble so I can appear to be “keeping it real” so my street credit rises, these artists have an uncanny knack for finding trouble.
If you accept that people are drawn to the music, the question is simple. What do you do about it? Do you ignore it and hope that they outgrow it. I learned “Hope is not a strategy.” If we accept people are going to listen to the music anyway, the best thing to then do is to highlight the positives. Use this book. It gives positive, uplifting, thought-provoking, inspirational, and motivating quotes and paraphrases from some of hip-hop’s most controversial artists. This book is a tool to help. Enjoy!
