It's a Bling Thing

The richest music

Genre in the world,

Hip Hop, is quite the

Beautiful basket

Case. It’s a bling thing,

Dripping in diamonds

And flashing dollar

Bills to the cameras.

But the beats, battles,

And nonsense corrupt

The culture that it

Should be. Without a

Council, guidelines, or

Parameters, there

Is little for it

To offer besides

Chicken and waffles

At four o’clock in

The morning. Each of

The entrepreneurs

That have spawned from the

Womb of Rap, show that

Money can be made

In large amounts. Based

On strong business deals,

Predominantly,

Men of color have

Created wealth to

Advance their own lives.
