Finding the different perspectives on Hip-hop is one the main objective of my paper.
Wade, Rick C. "How hip-hop stars can help create jobs: Column." USA TODAY. Columnists' Opinions, 28 July 2013. Web. 5 Oct. 2013. This article explains how hip-hop artists can actually have a great impact on the US economy which is really important since we still in a period of recession. It’s a column written by Rick Wade who strongly believes in the power of hip-hop artists to give back to the community that makes them so famous. The author explains how hip-hop artists can not only use their money to buy big houses and cars but also invest into business that would show good examples to their fans; it would therefore create job opportunities. Wade explains how some of the money earned can be invest in big companies as Energy, Technology, or in job training that would help the lower class as more rooms would open. He believes during all these big award ceremonies artists should acknowledge those between them that contribute in the expansion of the country and encourage other to get involved. He states that if people are willing to spend money to look like them, they would surely see no issues in wanting to get up and do something that would actually define them instead of following someone’s dream. This essay answers the questions I have regarding the economical perspective hip-hop might have on our society and how artists can give back to the society that allows and encourages them to live their dreams. What I don’t really understand is the concept why artists would feel the urge to help the economy. Is our government not good enough to handle it?
