Here is John Public and Nah Right’s NahMean man-on-the-street opinion series. In this segment they tackle a sensitive topic: God and Hip-Hop.
John explains:
God and Hip-Hop have always had a complicated relationship. We wanted to explore first whether fans of the music wanted to talk about God, but also if the two can successfully co-exist in a mainstream capacity. What we found was unexpected: people WANTED to talk about it and there were a wide-range of opinions on the topic from both artists and fans that raised the question of if the industry and pop culture are truly in touch with what people on the corner and in their homes are talking about. This episode features Skyzoo, stic.man of Dead Prez and a good number of opinionated music consumers talking back and revealing some surprisingly honest perspectives on a topic considered taboo.
We did not post the first two episodes from the series, so pt. 1 and 2 are on the jump.
NahRight and John Public continue their “talk-back” series about what people on the street are concerned about. Here, the issue of sensationalist journalism in hip-hop is explored from both an artist and fan perspective. We interviewed managers, engineers, fans and artists to get their perspective on what is going on in the culture and what NEEDS to be going on.
John:
NahRight and John Public have teamed up to produce an original video series that gives the average hip-hop fan, artist and/or consumer the platform to talk back about their culture. We’re turning the camera away from the household names and onto the people on the corner who have their own valid opinions and thoughts on hip-hop music, the industry and what’s going on in the street.
