Yesterday was an exciting day for me, along with my friends at Someplace Called Brooklyn, we gave ourselves two hours to create an art project/song which would express some of the thoughts which were on my mind this week.
Every day, I hear the word thug thrown about but I wonder if people in our hip-hop culture understand the origins of the word. My two cents are on the more extreme side of where the word was derived from, but it's not without purpose. The point is to use it as a conversation starter. Do we even wonder what we are sensationalizing via the media and popular culture?
