Hip-Hop Music Always Gets A Bad Rap By Mel

Hip-Hop music is a positive influence and educational in today’s generation. Despite the negative comments from critics, Hip-Hop has a positive vibe that links a connection with the community and is marketed in an optimistic way towards today’s youth. To many, Hip-Hop is an inspiration and motivation to overcome life’s obstacles. One great example on how Hip-Hop uplifts the community is Urban Art Beat NYC/ The Positive Pulse of Youth Education which is located in South Bronx NY. According to Urban Art Beat NYV over 67% of the students remain in the program for 2 or more seasons compared to 47% average retention rate for NYC public school’s minority youth. What’s unique is that this form of music associates itself with all genres of music which is relatable to all walks of life.

· Hip-Hop music creates jobs

· Educates the youth on street and book smarts

· Goes beyond the color spectrum and brings all cultures together.

The Disney Channel which is owned by Disney-ABC Television Group has incorporated Hip-Hop in a positive light to their demographic from younger children to older teenagers and adults. “Let it Shine” a Disney Original Hip-Hop movie was tied as the top-rated cable original Friday night, earning a 0.9 rating along with ESPN’s US Open coverage from Amanda Kondolojy who posted an article in TV By the numbers on June 18^th, 2012.

The reason why Hip-Hop music gets such a bad rap is because the negative side gets heavily promoted by the industry.

Don't Thirst Your Way Into The Rejected Pile By Mel

Men, you have the power to change. Your standard of living and philosophical mindset based on thirsty behavior is not setting a good example. Classy women will throw you automatically into the rejected pile if they sense this way of thinking. What concerns me the most is how brothers market themselves onto the dating scene and the assumption they make when they speak to a beautiful woman. Money flashers believe it is a walk in the park that they can get any woman they want. Most thirsty men try to impress women with their financial assets. They believe this technique will force a woman to throw herself at their feet. When fantasy becomes reality or they get rejected they proclaim that a woman is stuck up which is far from the truth. To be honest, no sophisticated female wants to be whistle, bark at or grab in an awkward way from a stranger and I do not blame them.

Date Smarter, not Harder By: Mel

Way too many guys pay attention to women based on THEIR attraction level. They will waste their time and hard earned money on a woman who is not attracted to them at all.

Every ounce in your body engages you to stay well groomed, sell your image, build your vocabulary and practice on your art or goals in life. That’s a very attractive trait to have and I will tell you why. The love you put inside yourself shines externally which creates this invisible aura. It creates offensive projections defined as the way you carry yourself or how you interact with people combine with defensive measures such as keeping your guard up and not allowing people to take advantage of you. We all have our moments when we navigate in unfamiliar territory. For example, giving your time and effort to someone who shortchanged you or getting laid off from a promising career just because you challenged the status quo. Sometimes you feel betrayed but let me share something with you. To succeed in life you must fa
