I was listening the other day to "How Do U Want It" by Tupac Shakur and noted the refrain which in part stated "I'm for real".
The hiphop generation has a great interest in "Keepin' It Real."
But what is Real?
I see this dilemma with Tupac most starkly--he is trying to be down with his homies, yet this actor/recording artist is dating Quincy Jones' daughter and modeling in fashion shows in Rome.
What self respecting Thug or gangsta would be an actor or model clothes? How can you be hard and live in Beverly Hills.
Isn't this just another form of the American Delusion that one can Have It All? |
