In a world, where the majority is suffering, because of hardship, and economic downfall, there are some strong enough to bare through it all, and make it through the despair. Music is a tool that is used, to spread social awareness, especially about everyday problems facing our communities. As music becomes a market, money becomes the driving force behind its expression. Those who make it, as musical artist are becoming less sympathetic, and disconnecting from society, focusing only on economical gains.But what happened to spreading social awareness, as the gap between the rich and the poor begins to widen. In these current times, many are looking for questions and answers, but who´s there to provide and show the real graphics of life and talk about real problems. I remember a time growing up, when this was the driving force behind Hip Hop, Pop, R/B and dance hall music, but what happened to the realness and foundation of the music. As the majority is looking for more poor people governors, who can empathize with them, and let the government know what´s going on, and how they can step up their efforts to make the world a better place. Imagines, of your family crying everyday, because they don't know where the next meal is coming from. In my eyes, I see it as a crime. If you see something, and you don t do anything to resolve the issue,your guilty as charge. As they say, a hungry man, is an angry man, so when government talks about issues about irradiating crime, what do you expect the majority to do, when they don't provide them with proper avenues so they can excel in life. How about an education? what about health care? what about jobs? these are many things that need to be answered. I believe there needs to be more social consciousness, as musical artist have an obligation to let people know what´s going on, by giving them hope and inspiration. We need a movement people! Artist need to talk more about real issues that change and affect our community.Otherwise music become a fade that doesn´t empathize or show any real compassion towards those who support it for the reason why it was created.
Here is a songs that I found, that talks about real issues. It doesn´t really take much, as simple as requesting more social conscious songs over the radio, so the leaders can be aware about real problems affecting our society.
