The genesis of my love for hip hop and rap music started with my sony walkman and my first copy of Get Rich or Die Tryin by 50 Cent. Sure I may not be from the same neighborhood, “life” or background as many of the rappers or artists in the game these days, but that doesn’t mean I can’t have an appreciation for the craft and draw energy/motivation from the genre. That doesn’t mean that rap and hip/hop can’t be a positive force - it just carries with it some nuances to be aware of. Is the content matter good for kids and young people? No probably not. Now are there downsides to rap/hip hop music? Sure there are. Hell sometimes rap gives me the confidence to call out bullshit, go lift heavy things at the gym when I don’t want to, and to put myself first. To control my emotions and focus on the tangible goals in front of me that can improve my life. It reminds me to be harder and not so soft. To me, Hip Hop/Rap is motivation, it’s about grinding, coming up through the game, and persevering despite major hurdles in life ALL while having a rock solid confidence and cockiness about what you bring to the table. I know the truth is hip hop and rap played a large part in my mindset and ability to stay consistent when I didn’t want to. You wouldn’t believe it, but my freestyle game is rock solid from all the years of listening to every type of hip hop beat and song imaginable.īut I digress - the point is if I look back on my years in college athletics, work, side hustle etc. Now look, I’m a Peter Millar Polo wearing, deal sled rocking, 30 year old white guy so some of the irony is not lost on me that I enjoy this genre of music so much and I have certainly been mocked for it before.īut what’s interesting is that I’ve never really strayed far over my years from my preference for hip hop and rap music. I listen to Hip hop/Rap regularly and for me, it’s a great source of inspiration, motivation, and drive. You don’t have to love Hip Hop to have it rub off on you and push you to be better. If we end up doing a Podcast, it’ll likely involve rap. If you’ve been following our Instagram/brand for some time you’ll know that I listen to quite a bit hip hop/rap.
