Non-violent, non-misogynistic hip hop for MC

Hi Chuck,

I noticed in the “female representation” thread over there that you brought up (again) there is no such thing g as hip hop without misogyny and violence. This not meant to start a fight, but just think people shouldn’t judge absolutely, even when based on their own experience, because there is always more to learn. I respect your approach to many things on this forum, so I thought I’d share some of MY experience with the genre. Here are a small handful off the top of my head:

Lyrics to the last one, by KRS One...

There were two patients laying in the hospital

They shared the same room, both fighting health obstacles

The first patient had his bed by the window

He could see outside and feel how the wind blow

The second patient, his bed was by the wall

No window, he couldn't see nothing at all

So in summary there was no sun to see

He was laying in the dark looking for recovery

He could see the other patients looking outside

And jealousy took over his pride, he couldn't hide

He said to the patient by the window

"Hey! Tell me what you see outside there today"

The patient by the window started saying

"I see people walking, talking, I see children playing"

"Cars going by with the booming systems"

But the patient by the wall could only lay and listen

Bedridden, he couldn't see it for himself

But the descriptions he was given was improving his health

Everyday the patient by the window would say what he saw

And everyday the patient by the wall wanted more

But what he wanted even more instead

Was to be in the patient by the window's bed

He wanted the same bed that the patient had

If he could just exchange beds it would make him glad

So one day the patient by the window was gone

And the patient by the wall knew something was wrong

But he still asked the nurse if he could be first

To get the bed by the window, and what's worse

He did get the bed by the window

But the shock instead was a wall full of brick stone

No cars, no people, no scenery

No light, no flowers, no greenery at all

It was like just a brick wall facing the window

He said to the nurse "I was tricked, yo"

The nurse said "Tricked? You'll be fine"

But a view of a brick wall he didn't have in mind

And what really blew his mind

Is when the nurse said, "Cheer up

The previous patient, he was blind"

He realized right at that time

You create your reality, the world is mind
