Elavi speaks on the release of Shyne

Oct. 6, 2009 - PRLog -- Elavi says he remembes a time when shyne was dismissed as a biggi smalls sound alike and this didn’t help matters and being signed to puff daddy’s label didn’t reallly help the metter as how could an artist that did in some ways sound like biggy follow in the legends footsteps? But he was beginning to prove that he had a voice of his own when the imfamous shooting took place that landed him in prison and sean puffy combs walked free. Elavi said that he believes that it is part of a bigger plot because in america artists may seem as if they are sucessful on a worldwide stage. But many of them are controlled and you will find that many artists are brought up on charges and imprisoned for various reasons. It seems as if many artists get success and at the same time get their wings clipped if the success has too much influence. On this side of the pond it seems like we just don’t get a foot in so there is no wing clipping to be done.

Shyne isnt the first and won’t be the last  rapper to be imprisoned but this seems like one of the more high profile cases and in this case the final chapter has yet to be written. Elavi went on to say that these rappers and hip hop artists are part of a game to create culture within society the paly the roles of gangters pimps and over sexualized black males then some of  them get caught in the game believing that is who they are. And when you have a whole generation raises in the city ghetto with no economic way out it creates a ghetto of the mind. Music has the power to free us or enslave us. We don’t seem to know this but the powers that be know it all too well. Right now am woring on completing my second albmu and a film about hip hop and I cant say to much but its gonna be deep.
