Ft. Julia Kimwei & DeCarlo Price
This podcast features Julia Kimwei and Decarlo Price. In this episode, we discuss how hip-hop impacts mental health. More so how the content that is prevalent throughout the lyrics promote activities, lifestyles, and substances that can influence the masses. But this episode targets the impression it has on the youth; who are more susceptible to being influenced by what the content that hip hop contains.
It begins with our personal takes on hip hop songs and artists that we are into but slowly acknowledges how their lyrics promote a certain lifestyle to its audience.
And even a personal take from DeCarlo noting how hip-hop from his Caribbean culture has now been turned to be viewed from a certain point of view than its original origin simply due to the way it’s been presented in a more derogatory and sexually explicit light in hip hop.
Furthermore discussions on avenues that can take place to censor the spread of this message to the youth through harmful lyrics
Insight on how access to harmful music has changed throughout the years in terms of easy accessibility.
Talk about how the youth have a higher inclination towards rebellion and are drawn towards having a curiosity about what these hip-hop songs present. A lifestyle that seems out of reach.
Giving praise and accolades to African hip-hop artists.
Distinguishing between hip hop in America vs Africa
Closing out how much hip hop has had the power to impact the mind, culture, views, and politics. And the youth is the new generation so they carry the torch of these ideologies into developing a new society.
