Music began as a way for minorities to come together and to connect via rhythm and sound. With many starting off in small churches or gatherings, bonding through food and other talks and chitchat about what is going on in their communities. But now in the 20th Century music is no longer that sacred area, but anyone with a “hot” beat and some wording can come together and make something that is instantly famous and puts them in the fast track of stardom to continue making horrible works on nothing that has to do with community, what is going on with society but as a way to distract those who enjoy this type of music from reality. Lauryn Hill said one phrase in a Fugee song “...and defecate on the microphone” I think this speaks to what hip-hop and rap has experience. References: Queen, Erykah Badu
