In the monotony of modern existence, music has become a background experience for most rather than a foreground experience. Independent hip hop is no different. RapIndie has a catalog of nearly 1000 posts, but if you want to become one of them, this is what RapIndie looks for:

1. Raps that are difficult or creative.

2. Artist authenticity (rapping about their own lives).

3. Cultural significance (songs that elicit social reactions from people).

4. Empowerment (songs that break stereotypes, or songs that display stereotypes in a positive light).

A while back, technology over-powered intelligence. This led to an elevated status for certain intellectual rappers that we would like to call "creator status". While RapIndie may be the fastest way to spread "creator status", there are some concerns.

1. Are they as friendly to other cultures or as interested in the music from them, as they seem to want in return?

2. Do the rappers focused on the street NEED that elevated status if they are merely interacting within their own culture?

3. Maybe a few "creator status" artists are enough to keep people's minds open to rapper's creative potential; because in culture a lot of people are not living up to their ethnicity's hype.
