Inspiration does not only revolve
around books and counsel meetings; this era of multimedia revolution has seen
inspiration hail from all forms of sources. At the top of this list is music.
When I relate this to the audience population, the major contributor to
spreading the messages is hip hop. Hip hop artists employ advice in their
talent and use their music to reach a vast majority of people, especially the
upcoming generation. This not only works to reach them faster but also
effectively as their quotes are easily memorized melodically. Take for example some drake quotes, “The past
which you carry along with you is a gift or curse when you’re going head first”
and “Think with your head, you are probably not that much of an important to
the others around you if you always treat people with no respect”. These lines
have a great impact on their listeners and fans; they work to reshape their
lives.
Another hip hop artist spreading
his “gospel” is Lil Wayne. Some famous lil Wayne quotes are like: “I got to die
with money because I really wasn’t born with it” and “Love me or hate me but I
promise it won’t either make me or break me”. My take on this type of
revolution is the age of writing is coming to an end, not that everyone will be
singing, information will be kept in music tracks. Imagine learning your worst
chemistry lesson as a song, by your favorite artist, would it not be
simplified? Look at it this way, we all started by cave paintings, pictures
that is, then came the age of writing and now we are moving on to a new way of
preserving our history. So these hip hop lines are here to stay, after all
don’t we live what we our environment makes us to?
