The thing about hip-hop today is it's smart, it's insightful. The way they can communicate a complex message in a very short space is remarkable. Barack Obama, BET interview; as quoted in 'Barack Obama, first president to come of age in hip-hop era' Greg Kot, Chicago Tribune, (November 09, 2008). This is hip hop. Hip-hop is the streets. Hip-hop is a couple of elements that it comes from back in the days. That feel of music with urgency that speaks to you. It speaks to your livelihood and it's not compromised.
We are living through some strange times. It's very easy for people to feel despondent as we face an uncertain future amid the coronavirus pandemic. However, through tough times, it's always good to seek out the advice of others.

Throughout hip-hop's 47 years, there have been many influential rappers who, at one point in their lives, experienced some great challenges and tragedies, whether it's in business, music or in their personal lives. They not only survived the struggle, but it also helped shape them into meaningful artists.
When it comes to Kendrick Lamar, the Compton rapper admitted he allowed his ego to prevent him from not trusting the people around him. 'Everybody comes into this business with a mindset of not wanting to get close to someone, because they may cross you,' he explained to Forbes magazine in 2016. 'While the business does have its pros and cons, it's about knowing how to balance both sides, which has everything to do with ego.'
Before Juice Wrld's untimely death in December 2019, he told fans at a concert in Melbourne, Australia to never give up on their dreams. 'I want to to tell you that y'all can do whatever the fuck you want to do in this life,' he told concertgoers. 'Whether you want to be a rapper, an actor, a doctor or a lawyer, whatever the fuck you want to be, you can do that shit. So go out there, put in the work and do that shit.'
A man like Diddy has always encouraged people to become entrepreneurs because independence also equals freedom. 'There is a certain pride that comes from being able to have that independence,' he told Entrepreneur magazine in 2016. 'Being an entrepreneur to me means belief in myself, and belief in my dreams, and independence and freedom.'
