I kept hearing the same ol' Bullshit from everyone saying RAP is bad for the soul, but as a philosopher, I have learnt to bring validity to the invalid, find truth in something that is meant to be confusing or rejected.
RAP means Rythm And Poetry
Poets use life matters to create their lyrics, and what is philosophy about if not about life and every philosopher sees life in a different way.
**Machiavelli's goal**: "to discover, following the course of history and contemporary events, how the principals are being conquered, detained and lost."
**Plato maintains** a virtue-based eudaemonistic conception of ethics. That is to say, happiness or well-being (eudaimonia) is the highest aim of moral thought and conduct, and the virtues (aretê: ‘excellence’) are the requisite skills and dispositions needed to attain it.
**Eminem** aims at being the most controversial rapper, being himself not living a fake life and he has attained this. Being the best after Tupac Shakur.
In most of his tracks, he speaks against RACISM, and strives to be indifferent to the human colour.
“I say what I want to say and do what I want to do. There’s no in between. People will either love you for it or hate you for it.” – Eminem
## The Revival Messages
# Eminem Ft. Beyonce Walk on Water
Eminem speaks on **Being Human**. He admits that when a great height is achieved in life, people look up to you as a *god*. They have great expectations from you. They forget that we are human just like them, capable of making mistakes. Using Jesus as an example of when he WALKED ON WATER. Humans expect you to do things that are not possible for a normaL HUMAN to do.
Eminem and Beyonce tells us in summary that
>I walk on water
But I ain't no Jesus
I walk on water
(It's true, I'm a Rubik's— it's true—)
But only when it freezes
(It's true—)
From my perception, I believe this to means that even the kings are bound to make mistakes and they can only meet the human expectations only when they are not human or when the condition enables the impossible to be possible. But if they are still human, they are bound to making mistakes.
Just like every human, if they fall, they decide to stand and keep pushing on.
<center>"Expect Less from humans"</center>
To finalise the message passed across in this track, Eminem says
>Kids look to me as a god, this is retarded
If only they knew, it's a facade and it’s exhaustive
All these people we all look up to seeing them as gods are only living a life for publicity and they can't be themselves because of this. To correct this Eminem advises
“People can try to reinvent themselves. I don’t think you can really change who you are, though, because who you are is pretty much where you came from and what you’ve done up to now.”
# Like Home (Ft. Alicia Keys) Lyrics
“Like Home” is an anthem in favor of the United States of America, offering a critical yet patriotic counterargument to President Trump’s vision of the country.
>Someone get this Aryan a sheet
Time to bury him, so tell him to prepare to get impeached
Everybody on your feet
This is where terrorism and heroism meet, square off in the street
This chump barely even sleeps
All he does is watch Fox News like a parrot and repeats
While he looks like a canary with a beak
Why you think he banned transgenders from the military with a tweet? He's tryin' to divide us
This shit's like a cult, but like Johnny he'll only unite us
'Cause nothin' inside us drives us like this fight does
Similar to when two cars collide 'cause
Our spirit's crushed, and this spot's a tight one
But here the jaws of life come
To pull us from the wreckage, that's what we get pride from
When we can’t from our stars and stripes cause
This type of pickle that we're in is hard to deal
But there's always tomorrow still
If we start from scratch like a scab, get the scars to heal
And band together for Charlottesville
And for Heather, fallen heroes, fill this wall with murals
Nevada get up, hit the damn resetter
Let's start from zero, this is our renewal
Spray tan, get rid of, get a brand new, better
America, and here's to where it all began
In this verse, Eminem speaks about how a leader does not show respect for the people of his country regardless of their skin color, not respecting the fact that we were all created to suffice each other, teaches, and advice us not to unite together with the aim to divide other people from ourselves.
>And here's to where we all began, all began (stand up!)
Here's to the land that made me
And made me who I am, who I am (hands up!)
Here's to the land that raised me
This one for the only place that really knows me
From the cracks in the road that drove me
There's no place like home
In this chorus Alicia Keys praises the home where she came from. From this i have learnt to appreciate my homeland even if its not perfect. NOTHING IS PERFECT. There are other countries around the world that are not even up to the standards of my home, the peace i have in my home no matter how little it is, is enough for me. IF YOU FEEL LIKE IT'S NOT ENOUGH WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO BRING PEACE TO WHERE YOU ARE, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR THE COMMUNITY TO BE PEACEFUL, IF YOU HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING, DON'T EXPECT ANYTHING IN RETURN. No where like home: no matter where you go around the world your heart will still be at home because home was where you learnt to be a better or worse person, home was where you had experienced, and what is a better teacher than EXPERIENCE?
## Closing Remark
1. Have less or no expectations from people because we are all bound to go against our words
2. Be yourself. The best person you can be is YOU and no one can be better at being YOU than YOU.
3. Do not forget where you came from, when you are tired of your many journeys and decide to rest your back, the only place you will return back to is home...
