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. From an educational stand point it also teaches young entrepreneurs on how to build wealth in a business like setting. Successful Hip-Hop entrepreneurs have reaped the rewards by creating clothing lines, colon and scholarships for the less fortunate. The reason why Hip-Hop music gets such a bad rap is because the negative side gets heavily promoted by the industry.

BE who you ARE, not who the World wants you to BE By Mel

Life is full surprises. When you’re out there in the field you get a sense that all eyes are on you. That oil to your engine is confidence . 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 som...

Self-Reflect and Accept Change By Mel

I NEVER understand why people are so desperate to get into a relationship without focusing on themselves. Cuffing season has become the new norm in today's dating age and no wonder why there are so many incomplete relationships. Shortcomings are bound to happen when you put in shortcoming efforts which equals shortcoming results...it's not rocket science. When people market themselves in a particular way by showing their romantic side or being independent it is completely opposite when they are in a relationship. For example, they unleash their bag of unlucky charms which cursed them from their last relationship hoping that their significant other will accept them. Nine out of 10 that rarely happens and I will explain why. Deceitful people brush their advertising promos underneath the rug and show who they truly are with nasty characteristic traits like clinginess, non-trustworthy ways and possessiveness. By not practicing what you ...

False Advertising By Mel

Sometimes when we come across someone who we are extremely attracted to we subconsciously do not reveal who we truly are. This is what I call " False Advertising " which means pretending to be someone else to appeal to a person who you are attracted to. This all goes back to low-confidence because most men who discover to their own delight that if a beautiful female shows a little bit of friendliness he assumes that she is highly attracted to him. With no rapport building to see if they have some sort of emotional connection he then abandons his self-identity just to please her. This is where he gives his power away based alone on visual aspect without this woman even putting minimal effort in to show she is interested in him. Little Trey's logical mind instantly goes into character mode. For example, he begins to text her non-stop with little to no feedback or purchasing expensive flowers every day delivered to her job. Sadly, this t...
