And I think what drove hip hop originally was what made it originally great. It came at a time when music wasn’t being taught in school as much, which is what made Jazz possible for the black community. This time around, they had nothing, and they still did something with it. They inherited a culture, with records, and record players, and nothing of their own, so they made something of their own. Till that time the black male had nothing to call his own to look up to in culture, which is what our society fetishises. That motivation isnt there now. The music, its culture, and its people has by and large been defined, and been absorbed into the rest of the beast. Nowadays, now that every voice of every people, and color, and genre, has been heard, its about mixing things together in ways they’ve never been before. and thats for anybody.
