PROBLEMS & SOLUTIONS - Part III - Ain't No New Thing

Hello & welcome BLAK to another episode of b2a aka black2afrika on ya internet browsing dial. WE'VE been here doing the SAVE HIP HOP THANG for a minute & so to all of ya who say "give her up" I say a big "HELL to the NAH" bcuz it would be like giving up on a FAMILY MEMBER in TROUBLE! My generation created HER & now that she's almost 41 years of age, WE gotta protect & LUV her til it hurts! Another thing I'd like to say is that though WE FOCUS on HIP HOP, as the poem by GSH says, this AIN'T NO NEW THING & as it's not even 5 minutes long, give it a listen to get the full context of what WE mean. From there, WE GO where WE gotta. After ya listen, let's talk about some SOLUTIONS to the many PROBLEMS facing the most important cultural/musical/ourstorical MOVEMENT in the last 40 years. I call her HIP HOP! 


So as Gil said, in ameriKKKa it's the same old SHIT! But then WE look aside & see that WE got a dude named Tech N9ne defying the stereotypes of what WE know happens in the industry & check this.......he's totally https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCUiGArhW2M.........do ya know what that mean? WE really don't have much to report here on that bcuz if ya read Part I, you would have read these very words;

I heard about Tech’s music from Vigalantee (aka Roger Suggs), another popular artist out of the mid-west. According to Vigalantee, a lot of mainstream artists are actually afraid of performing with Tech due to the fear of being embarrassed by his lyrical skill set. What really impressed me is that Tech has a very strong following and tours around the world, all because he was able to build a working business model for himself.  In that regard, he’s better off than nearly any other artist I can think of.*

Those very words have to resonate in ya & if ya doing this music thang, ya gotta know that the model as provided by the established so called powers that be are gonna DESIGN whatever deal for ya if ya don't making ya into an EMPLOYEE & so whoever ya work for is called a BOSS! Ya see, the name of the game today is to ROCK a SHOW & have ya product there for those HUNGRY for what ain't on the radio & make 'em buy whatever ya put out next time ya come where THEY at even if they ain't heard it! While y'all saying that dudes from the 80's are now old, they are selling out arena's & SHIT like that & so it ain't a game! If ya SIRIUS, can ya replicate what works in ya own way?


I never spent any time checking out Tech but according to the same article, Tech pulled in a whopping $7.5 MILLION DOLLARS just ahead of 50centavos who I thought would be pulling in way more than that or do these stats include endorsements & all? Whatever the case, dude is paid & I'm more than sure has to pay some of that out but let's just say that he gets 1/2 that money; if so, DUDE is still PAID & I'm more that sure doing other shit aka, he's an ENTREPRENEUR! In this day & age, the name of the game is to DIVERSIFY wherein, ya can't just be an actor, MC, comedian, DJ, dancer or whatever. Ya gotta take that paper & INVEST in SELF!

(to all those who still believe in LORDS, SAVIORS & all that BULLSHIT!) 

Tech also expressed pride in the fact that he was able to consistently increase his income without the help of a record label and without major media outlets supporting him.  In fact, he doesn’t get played on the radio or television in hardly any capacity, since most media outlets have deals with record labels, which give them the incentive to only promote specific artists.* 

The dude does his thang & I wanna congratulate him bcuz he's doing it his way! Y'all gotta know that this is SIRIUS STUFF & right possibly, the best part of the whole equation is that ya now have a template to follow if ya really wanna do this. WE need peepo such as him & others to really represent as HIP HOP is vibrant & electric if ya not dependent on mainstream sources.
