Doing whatever you want? I think Avant-Garde musicians. Even rock and country musicians can do what they want. Rappers didn't invent shock value, or bring it to prominence. |
I don't get that bolded statement.
Boxing yourself in would be holding some subjective contexts to judge/base hip hop. If you leave it open and are able to accept that hip hop is ever evolving and there is no correct way for hip hop to be as it blends other genres into hip hop itself.
So because rappers didn't invent shock value, they aren't allowed to use it? is that what you are saying?
