Many “Hip Hop” Media outlets share inaccurate info and don’t know the culture as well as they should coverage should be knowledgeable and accurate with all information shared also we need coverage…
You know, I really didn't have a topic to discuss, but, you know, a couple of things throughout the week when I was just looking at certain coverage about hip hop and, you know, what I see.
throughout the media is a coverage that really doesn't care for the culture as a whole, doesn't care for the origins of the culture, doesn't care for this beautiful culture that we have in hip-hop, which has indeed been a big blessing to the black and brown people.
What triggers me is, like, me and Watt were talking, you know, our co-host, our good brother Watt Slice.
Listen to, you know, a podcast or, you know, a publication or someone talking about things.
You know, like when I saw a certain person that doesn't even cover hip hop get an interview with 38 Special.
It's kind of like you in that box where that's all you could discuss with confidence, right? Anything beyond that will be out of your lane, out of your reach, out of your understanding.
Because, I mean, how much could you talk about gangs and the negativity and the backdoor and the violence and who cut who and who did who dirty, right? There's a limit to that, you know? There's a wall, a ceiling with that, you know what I'm saying? Because how many stories can one have, you know? So it was like, it bothers me, you know, and oftentimes I just see different hip hop publications and I'm like, man, how didn't they know that 38 Specials from Rochester, not Buffalo, right? How did they not know when this album came out? You know what I'm saying? How did they not know where this person was from? And two things, right? Either you know the culture or you don't know the culture.
Or maybe you're not doing your due diligence when you're doing an interview or when you're speaking on a specific topic.
