I go by the name of Solo Star, but you can call me Double S. I am 20 years old, and have loved hip hop since the 3rd grade. Much of today's mainstream hip-hop/rap (not all) is destroying it's listeners piece by piece. The guns, the jewels, the cars, drugs, sex, women etc. that the music glorifies is not benefiting our people in any way. After being shot at once before for one of the most ridiculous reasons ever, I have come to the conclusion that our rate of self destruction is increasing. I know people who would buy 20+ inch rims and hook up their rides, but won't do anything to get out of the ghetto. I would like to see a change in society, and I believe that with the help of others like me, I can change the world through music. Mohandas Gandhi once said "Be the change that you want to see in the world." This is where the change begins: with me.
