How Listening to Rap Can Make You Rich
You know, for a long time, I hated rap music. I thought most of it offered nothing of value to anyone. It was about sex, violence, money, drugs, arrogance and generally negative messages. However, recently I had a revelation about what exactly many of these songs actually were saying. It’s true that many of them carry messages I personally wouldn’t want my future kids taking to heart. I’m not particularly fond of the references of drugs and making money, killing people, and the other less savory aspects of this lifestyle.
However, there is one thing I do think is very positive in some of these songs. There is very little doubt that these people get what abundance is all about. They might take it to the extreme in some cases, but let’s look at a lot of the common elements in these songs.
o Being very attractive to members of the opposite sex.
o Having lots of money.
o Having lots of jewelry.
o Having expensive and exotic cars.
o Having yachts.
o Having very large and expensive houses.
o Attending exclusive parties and networking with other rich people.
o The climb to get to where they are.
o Vacationing in exotic and exclusive locations.
o Eating exceptional food.
o Drinking very expensive alcohol.
o Freedom.
o An understanding that there are bigger and better things to come.
Take the music however you want to take it, those ideas are very, very entrepreneurial in nature. In some way, shape, or form, everyone that wants success in their life is looking for several of those exact things. I personally want much of what I’ve just listed for myself and I’ve made it the intention in my life to get it. Listening to the confidence and focus of a lot of these artists is a lesson more people could learn from, not the negative and frankly offensive messages I thought were being shared.
It’s true, there is a lot of that out there as well, but let me ask you a question. How many other genres celebrate success and abundance in the way these artists do? Most music I hear is a commiseration of lack, heartache, problems, and mediocrity. Unfortunately, this resonates with many people and they take comfort in it. What I hear now in many rap songs is focus. I hear determination. I hear a belief that anything you want is out there for you to go get, just do it already. It takes that exact kind of confidence and focus to make a reality that large and impressive.
The fact is, these artists “get it”. They have the message, they have mastered their own realities in a lot of ways, and they have overcome serious problems that many of us never experience. It may very well be those problems that have driven them to success. A lot of people will disagree with what I’ve stated in this article. They’ll focus on the negative, brush it off as some sort of unsophisticated noise that’s unfit for “good people” and try to forget it’s there. This isn’t nearly the problem it used to be, but I still see a great deal of hostility and prejudice in someways toward this music. It’s very easy to pick out the negative side of the music; all the gangland stuff. The killing, the drugs, the overall debauchery are all very clear and obvious. Listening to the music, however, with an ear for what is being said that is positive can sometime yield up some very interesting realizations.
So yes, listening to rap music can actually make you rich as long as you know what you’re listening for. Next time you hear someone rapping about the size of the rims on their Rolls and drinking Hennessy Paradis, Courvoisier or Remy-Martin Louis the XIII, don’t hate. Get into it, understand the message, and integrate it into your mind if that’s something you want.
