My Current Thoughts On The Future Of Hip-Hop

I was listening to this Don Cannon x Cool Kids (Gone Fishing) mixtape and had an epiphany. I know that you as while as myself have been EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED in what hip hop has become. Like its so cookie cut right now its sickening. We have figured out the recipe to being on the radio and tricking labels into shooting a video to your song. They say "If Its Easy Everyone Would Be Doing It"....And they are. BUT I also realized today that everything happens in cycles, and this Hip Hop culture is about to press the reset button. Like listen to The Cool Kids, Wiz Khalifa, Curren$y, Wale, Big Sean and the other "Leaders Of The New New School". Like we are about to get back into the REAL essence of Hip Hop. ORIGINALITY, FRESHNESS, ARTISTRY. The 2nd Generation of Hip Hop are is dying out and its up to us to rebuild our culture. Like Indie labels are on the rise so the major labels are about to become irrelevant to our culture, and the opportunity for the new and IMPROVED Russell Simmons, Sean Combs, and Shawn Carter's will present themselves. So we can turn this industry on its ears once again, and make it better. We have a blueprint in branding and we have already seen what we can make of this opportunity.

Think about it, mixtapes is the way to be heard these days, and what are people making and dropping every 2 weeks? You got it...Mixtapes. And this Cool Kids mixtape is sounding like THE BEGINNING OF OUR CULTURE.

We are finding our cool within us...like being a gangster isn't cool anymore (No Disrespect To The OG's). So a lot of artist and people in general are feeling relieved because they can finally be themselves and this is opening up a whole set of lanes that haven't been touched. So you don't have to lie about selling bricks now, so you can actually talk about your real life and be accepted in this new generation of hip hop. This is why we can wear Crooks And Castles instead of Dickies and why we can smoke planes instead of Swishers.

We are FREE of the stereotype rappers and people who want a career in music. We own NBA teams now, we own 50% stakes of MAJOR Vodka companies, we are making hundreds of millions off of clothing and fragrances that we are creating. We know that its Deeper Than Rap its about our CULTURE.

We are more educated and more in tuned to things that is going on in the world, so our music could be more global and carry more substances. We dont have to be thugs anymore, so we can actually have fun making music again. We have to do this for the love of it because the quality of the music will always be great, and if you hot the money will come.

The Greats That We Look At Are Getting Old And They Are Looking For Some Relief...And We Can Be That

So Lets Press The Reset Button And Lets Build This Empire Again
