Read a Book...

Open a book and read it. We are easily brainwashed by what we watch on television. The reality t.v., talk shows, videos, movies and even news are pure entertainment. News, entertainment? Yes! Why do I want to listen to a half ass story about how people are struggling in our country for two minutes and the next story is coverage on how Lindsy Lohan was arrested once again. Why are we covering her disastrous life (or is it?) when a whole region has been swept away by mother nature. Our minds are so consumed by entertainment and as I observe the people around me, it's like watching the television; pure entertainment.

It's sad to watch people imitate a music video. These are the same people that are trying to make money based on the music that they listen to because it's "motivational" and not entertaining. Now, I'm not talking about ALL music, just mainstream. The music that wins awards. Music on the radio. Rap music being confused with Hip Hop. In my new understanding, rap music is a business but hip hop is a passion. Hip hop developed a culture that has adapted a lifestyle. Hip hop, alternative, rock and poetry..... all fall in that category of being an artist's lifestyle. Rap does not have depth but makes money to grasp your attention of fairy tails turned into reality, like Disney. You love to hear how somebody else is able to wear the fancy clothes, drive the fancy cars, live in the nice homes while you are unaware that they based their business on feeding you bullshit to keep buying, like an addiction. If you would open a book and read it, you would know.
