In build power after school we would rap for the librarians in Grand Army Plaza Library. They thought that us promoting books with live impromptu performances on the first floor would be a fun positive outlet to escape the madness outside. Although our people cultivated territorial communities, Medina was still an extremely dangerous terrain if you were not on point. Rap saved several lives in the ghetto, but not every aspiring rapper had the “it factor” to breakthrough as an exceptional artist because there were several gatekeepers and barriers in place to filter out the folks with no talent. Some of these folks actually had decent songs and influential people behind them, but that was never enough to infiltrate the scandalous music industry and sustain momentum. Uncle Ralph and Uncle Red always gave everyone no matter who you were an opportunity to let the audience decide if you had potential. That was not the case for this gentleman as he was going to be successful regardless if this music thing didn’t take off because from an early age he learned how to relate chess with survival growing up in one hell of a treacherous place you might of read about. See everybody that reads books might not have the insight to read human behaviors and counter accordingly because sense isn’t really that common. The subjective opinions about the sensationalism revolved around your favorite artists personal lives and business moves has absolutely nothing to do with actual facts of life. Sylvia and Russel didn’t invent the game, but they damn sure seized the opportunity to profit off of what the kids were doing in the park for free. Not one of your favorite commercial artists since 83 would ever perform for free so for those that had talent and played the game like Bobby Fisher hats off to y’all. In another 50 years none of these statistics, analytics, and emotion driven podcast OPINIONS would be relevant as the history books will only mention 3 names when reflecting on American rap music. Let knowledge be born and stay positive…#NuevaYorkTalk #PreTollLaneNYC #PreBikeLaneNYC
