Take a look at the new face of Rap, The Young Cons. Please note that I did not say Hip Hop. While most mainstream Hip Hop/Rap gets attention for shiny rims, beef, drugs, and hoes; these Ivy League guys are getting national broadcast and press coverage for their political views and social opinions. The Young Cons are obviously short on talent, but it doesn't matter to the media because they care more about the message. What a concept!
I wish BET could recognize this notion and place Hip Hop artists with a message, who are actually talented in the forefront. I don't know what it is that makes people want to perpetuate human flaws and front them off as success, but Viacom has these generations in a trance.
I am not blaming Viacom, but each generation learns from what they see and hear.
There are plenty of enlightening Hip Hop artists with hot beats, extensive national fan bases and world wide followings, but Viacom chooses to promote buffoonery.
