What is HiiPower?
" HiiPower is the way we think,the way we live. See it's known today that the human race is nothing - No morals, No standards. What we are about to do is raise the level of expectations. No, you don't have to have a lot of money, you don't have to be rich but you will be rich in mind and spirit. "- Kendrick Lamar; Cut You Off (To Get Closer); O.verly D.edicated
Our generation uplifts creativity. History proves that everything that's done today has been done before but we take pride in our gift of sampling legends to create diverse ideas. While I admire the beauty in our addiction to creative ideas, I want to stress our lack of education to what we "like". One of the most influential branches of media is Music. We listen to the sounds that evoke emotion and movement and settle for the lyrics and beat without going beyond what is heard to know what our souls are being fed.
While Hip Hop has been adopted as an urban religion, it is rumored that a lot of demonic influences are intertwined in what we listen to every day. If your anything like me, you question the controversy about music and it's subliminal messages. However, I do urge you to watch what you listen to, because anything you are exposed to can influence your thoughts and your actions.
Instead of resorting to social networks and songs to tell you what you believe in, discover things for YOURSELF. We live in a time where technology makes it easy to make anything sound plausible. Investigate E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G. Be inspired by those who choose to take a path that strays away from the "norm". Let the creativity we admire help you reach your goals instead of living vicariously through other people's inventions. Feel me? Yes? No? Bottom line, the world is too big to live dormant. Step out of YOUR box and learn. Learn to live.
..Food for thought. :)
Of course, my artist of choice for this entry is Kendrick Lamar. He is an artist from Compton, California who charms and educated with his wisdom and inquiry for the controversial issues of today's time. He is apart of a group called "Black Hippy". It is beautiful to see the game take a this turn back to educated black man using a gift of rhyme to reach others. His music is truly inspiring, relatable and refreshing. Be on the look out for his album "A Good Kid in a Mad City" in 2012.
