Jay Z has been spotted at various music concerts. He wants to stay fresh, new and up on the latest thing.
His time spent at these shows clearly is giving him some food for thought and he seems to be noticing a sense of community within the indie rock world that hip-hop has struggled with retaining over the years.
Now see that’s how the GO HARDS do it. Just to be good is never good enough. In order to be great one must study, practice, seek other perspectives, & tap into other resources to truly expand ones own perceptions of good, great and out of control. It’s the difference between a superstar and a one or two hit wonder with songs that are easily forgotten. It seperates the strong from the weak! And based on Jay Z’s latest album, Blueprint 3…he has graduated with honors!
JAY Z:
“The thing I want to say to everyone — I hope this happens because it will push rap, it will push hip-hop to go even further — what the indie-rock movement is doing right now is very inspiring. It felt like us in the beginning. These concerts, they’re not on the radio, no one hears about them, and there’s 12,000 people in attendance. And the music that they’re making and the connection they’re making to people is really inspiring. So, I hope that they have a run where they push hip-hop back a little bit, so it will force hip-hop to fight to make better music, because it can happen, because that’s what rap did to rock.”
