Back to Elitism

Being anti quality-control only works with noble intentions. All or nothing inclusivity is not resulting in "all". Empowering simplicity: good. Empowering poverty: good. Empowering mediocrity: not working.

Aggression

Hip hop culture has traditionally been a voice for people in poverty. Poverty usually increases crime. Although RapIndie's vision is an innovative rewrite of what it means to be a rapper, tolerance for the norms of hip hop culture is something we expect from our audience. It's ok to prefer the best of hip hop (we do), but we would like to ask for a little understanding for the worst of it.

Maybe Less IS More...

Quality is usually important. It's impactful, infectious, and evokes attachment. However, intentional lack of quality may be doing more good than simply making the world less critical.

1. In a world of digital art, real artists are often more inspired to try new seemingly easy things.

2. Are curator standards different than the casual audiences? Maybe people are satisfied.

3. Artists that blend in are more accepted and unified.
