RAP OUT FROM THE DARK TO LIGHT


Rap when embraced can be hard to let go or probably somewhat nondetachable; reason-partly because of the vibe and emotion it instills in whoever embraces it, and as such it is a genre of music-an unavoidable entity for engagement. Thus in summary, Rap is a culture. In Rap, from my own point of view, the pilot paradox is not about 'how to rap' but 'what to rap'. How to rap? Well, if you really love rap music, you are most probably close to rapping; simply because in the process of
liking the 'game' you may as well like a particular act in the game. It could be anyone in the rap game but most probably the person that raps what you like, regardless of the quality of rap he delivers. So this particular segment of 'Rap Paradox' is most probably in any Rap enthusiast's back yard. ''I'm sure someone might be thinking about that as we speak''... Well that's by the way. Then the 'Paramount Rap Paradox'-WHAT TO RAP. Did I hear someone say ''what do I rap?''? Well the answer is not far from the question, just as the question is somewhat the answer. Any confusion? Okay, imagine your status to be that of someone who has a great desire to make a mark in the 'Rap Game', not just rapping to play supa-dupa or a thug, or to the commonest instance, especially for those in the birthplace of Rap and around its corner, a mindless killer-probably a verbal killer- ''if I may have to mitigate the metaphor; I'm sure nobody is up a tree on this one''.
After the imagination, what comes to your mind? ''Well, if that question were for me, I would be thinking of making rap more global-not for the hard guys alone or tomboys, who would adopt a rather uncomfortable style-as in the case of being BEEF-HUNGRY-should they step in the mainstream part of the game, but for all. All? ''I would expect that question because that statement is off the hook as regards the trendy views held by many enthusiasts in situ.'' Well, variety is the spice of life. If one would adopt that notion in all his activities, he would be somewhat a maven. Yes! He would. So similarly, considering that notion and its direct, point-blank application would all but not leave you up a tree or with your head in the clouds as regards the decorous niche in the rap game. Decorous? Yes! The world should, as of now, be tired of BEEF.
Of course, we fight violence but a vegetarian would not truly share meat amongst non-vegetarians normally, let alone using his teeth on that which he forbids. One who hates meat would not truly have meat course/stuff on his menu. That was for reference. What am I trying to say? You might rap about crap like stealing, having b**ches on a whim, selling cracks and the rest of them; nevertheless if you had a vision to be spectacular you would not wanna try ''what's in vogue'' as many would suggest one does to make it but I say that is not a surety in its mean form. Your chances of success in any field you find yourself depend on factors like luck, connection (of course of
the old boy network counts, this would include the team you have at your disposal), and, above all, your talent and its efficiency.
So, back to the main point-What to rap. Yes! What to rap should be proportional to 'what you feel, how you feel, when  and where you feel what you feel'. I write rap songs easily because I feel I have what it takes to write the kind of songs I write. I was on 2go hip hop room one fateful day, with the rather conventional notion in situ-BEEF-booming and lurking, guys taking on the supa-dupa personality over whomever they felt were victim to their so-called VENOM; I caught the attention of one of them, and asked him if he could rap about DECOROUS ENTITIES-no beef, no supa-dupa approach, in spite of how good he may have felt he was back then, he told me he couldn't. VOILA! Rapping with beefy mentality is, as I have found following my research of relatively wide coverage, easy.
But if you were special and feel you are, you would wanna do things that will leave a rather indelible mark in the hearts of many about you. So why go for that which is so common in Rap-BEEF and its minions? How would you feel if someone dissed you, musically or otherwise, but you couldn't follow suit, probably as a result of a congruous disability you had or something else of similar nature? Of course you would want to do it your way; so wishing someone else did it for you may not allow you the misguided satisfaction you might get should you fight back yourself. If 2pac and Biggie Smalls, especially, were to rise from the dead and enter rap again but with a contrite mind, what do you think would actually happen? Technically, I think Rap would be revived and revolutionised, given the status they held during their time; and it would go a long way in reducing violence both in the minds of many and otherwise. Considering my style of Rap, many would doubt I have 2pac as my favorite rapper. Yes! He's my favorite; and I would expect a why-question from someone pertaining to that. Yes! 2pac added emotions to his Rap, making it draw many to admire his style in spite of the content; and I believe he actually got that mentality as a consequence of what he saw around him. But as for me, I despise BEEF because I know it brings enmity and feud which would lead to loss of life, or similar threats and dangers; and life has no spare or duplicate-imagine this, no human possession can buy anyone's life. If you loved this world, you would do what you could to make it better. There's no better time to do what you ought to do than when you actually do it. So my advice in its simplest form is if you would rap, RAP OUT FROM THE DARK TO THE LIGHT. Dani-El feels rap has to be revived to make life better and easier. Stay true to the game. All the best to those who want it for All. AMEN!
