Hip hop has come a long way since it originated. Brilliant minds such as Easy E, Ice Cube, 2pac, 50 cent, Eminem, Jay Z and many others shaped this culture and made it what we have today. It has been the voice of many talented people and enlightened enormous issues of social importance from racism and discrimination to illegal actions and the truth about street life.
As the time is passing it keeps getting more and more popular. Some artists tend to make money of it and use the attention for personal fame and wellbeing of their close ones. They are buying fancy clothes and expensive jewelry, spending over $45k for rings to show their love and are gradually devaluing the real idea and meaning behind hip hop culture.
The mission of Hip Hop is not the advocacy of luxury life and the show off of expensive parties, there is more into it. Of course, it’s not bad to have money and live a good life, however that will not be the thing to be remembered for. Ideas and quality music is what makes artists great.
While contemplating on this a new artist came to position the idea that real Hip-Hop is not dead yet. Stephen Nnamdi with his brand Sunshine Production Music (S.S.P.M) has released a music video called Sunshine recently and it makes you stop for a second and think: how far we’ve come as humans and how far we will still go. The importance of humanity and the message of peace seems to fail it’s mission in today’s music industry.
These guys are taking it back, they are here to remind that life is too short and that we are humans, we were not built for killing and violence; violence is never the answer. This beautiful and truthful message is often being ignored: people, stop for a second, watch this video and take a minute to think – how long can this continue? Violence is never the answer.
Take this video as the remainder of love and peace and humanity. Share it with your friends and spread some positive and peaceful vibes around, we all need it.
