Well I know for me Hip Hop is a release. Much like writing is a release. With Hip Hop I normally do a triple stance, write, rhyme it, and then produce it. Now Hip Hop can only be one part of a person's life, it is not enough to completely dominate every other aspect of life. If a person is going through the ups and downs life then their mental and spiritual demeanor will play a stronger role in their decision making process than Hip Hop.

Disco D was a good friend of mines and one of my mentors. I praticially lived with him for about 6 months last year and there were ALOT of situations that caused him to do what he did. If I were in his shoes I would've have been depressed too but the truth is suicide is NEVER the answer.

He left alot of people that cared for him and honestly it really fucked my head up for awhile. It still does to this day actually. To anyone in the business that feels depressed or sad, find someone to talk to. Whether it be professional, friend or family. Speaking about your problems and sorting through them can help you see that there IS a way of solving your problems without taking your own life.

Exactly what Streetweyez said. Hip-hop is a release to many; personally, I've been through depression and hip-hop was not only a crutch to keep me up, in the end, it helped me get over the situation.

I also was a friend and fan of Disco D. Unfortunately depression doesn't care if you are talented, loved or a legend...if it takes you under none of that matters. I honestly don't think hip hop made his situation worsen but who am I to say?

RIP Dave Shayman.

good read.

I definitely see Hip Hop as theraputic..lyrics and attitudes that relate to how you feel and can help you gain stability and new viewpoints on certain things.

but at the same time..I think certain music does affect the vibe of your energy and somewhat change how you function..so you gotta be careful.

ANYTHING can be depressing in life and to ALMOST try to make it seem that hiphop has the exclusives on this prob is misleading.
Yet, it can be a depressing thing being in the music biz, in general, trying to make it. It's just a tough career to try to have, point blank.

The amount of bias & stereotypes about Hip-Hop, declining record sales, lack of creative control of the artist, the defending of itself against everyone from Oprah to America, exploitation by corporate giants who give a muthaf*ck about the culture, and the becoming of a business rather than a culture IS depressing.
