Hip Hop Saved My Life….

Now Playing: "Hip-Hop Saved My Life (featuring Nikki Jean)" by Lupe Fiasco from the album The Cool

I find it funny that cats these days rap for the money, its a lot of hurt in me, hip hop is my therapy…. Hip Hop today has turned into a bunch of wannabe drug dealers and thugs. These kids don’t understand that hip hop is the art of storytelling. I know personally I’ve expressed a lot of pain in my life thru my music. I’m not out here lookin for a deal I could care less. I make music for myself and for people like myself. Times are tough for everybody and its nice to know that you not the only one goin thru something. I’ve been betrayed by a person I considered a brother, I’ve had a lot of close family members die, I’ve seen things that I never told anybody about, I was out there at one point sellin drugs. My music is an expression of my feelings and thoughts. It wasn’t until that at one point I wanted something more in music that I tried to change my life for the better….hip hop saved my life….period….
