In rap today, a lot of musicians are facing criminal charges and allegations of sexual misconduct. The worst part? No one cares. These artists are still releasing music and gaining a following.
Rapper Kodak Black is also facing sexual assault charges. None of the cases have been resolved but the fact that almost no one is even phased by it says a lot about society. When the sexual assault allegations in Hollywood happened the actors got blacklisted, but the same isn’t happening in the music industry. So many people are turning a blind eye to this and are openly not caring about victims of sexual assault. Atlantic Records has no plan to drop Kodak Black and XXX signed a multi-million dollar deal with Capitol Records.
So what does this say about the music industry? People are willing to still work with people who are accused of sexual misconduct and it’s truly disgusting. These rappers aren’t even that good and there are so many other people you can listen to. Nobody cares anymore about basic human decency. It seems like we are living in a different dimension where people are okay with rape. Have we turned into mindless zombies listening to whatever sounds halfway decent? Overall, you don’t have to listen to rapists- what’s wrong with you people?

What’s up y’all? Today we’re going to be celebrating the birthday of one of the most memorable names in hip hop history, MC Hammer. Born on March 30th, 1962, Stanley Kirk Burrell turns 56 today. If you’ve never heard the name MC Hammer then leave now and don’t come back.
MC Hammer enjoyed his biggest popularity in the late 80’s and early 90’s centered around his two biggest hits, “U Can’t Touch This” and “2 Legit 2 Quit”. Hammer was known for his flashy dancing and equally flashy style. He made the “hammer pants” popping and had the whole world grooving. Hammer became the first hip hop artist to have an album go certified diamond (10 times platinum).
MC Hammer had his ups and downs throughout his career. In a time in hip hop when the genre was shifting to more street-driven gangster rap, Hammer was pop through and through. He caught a lot of flack for it then, but now we can appreciate what he did. Hip Hop is now so much more than gangster rap these days and has taken over the pop scene. This would never be possible if it wasn’t for artists like Hammer. And if you say you don’t like “U Can’t Touch This” you’re a liar. Happy birthday MC Hammer, I hope you’re still dancing. I’ll see y’all back here next week for more hip hop history lessons.
