Hip Hop: What You See Is What You Get?

Published By Randy on 12/01/09

“Kill yourself, you know?”

Those are probably not the words you’d want to hear after submitting a less than professional (admittedly) production of a hip hop video to the world.  Those words, however, were the repeated response to apsiring rapper Bangs’s art: his own hip hop song that he posted on YouTube.

While Bangs’s song may not be the most conventional piece of hip hop, it certainly is the product of one man’s enthusiasm.  Bangs took a love of his–hip hop–and turned it into a visual presentation; a presentation that was shatted on by numerous callers on a Shade 45 XM radio show.  Wow.

“Haters,” as they were naturally called, commanded the airwaves for a good number of minutes.  The callers would not only bash what Bangs presented, but they suggest he bash his own head in over the lyrics wrote.

What’s the problem here, though?  Isn’t this what rappers have presented over the years?  Isn’t this what artists have communicated to the masses?  Oh…I guess living the dream isn’t the dream afterall.
