Maybe the likes of Apple and Google, who really aren't in it for wealth creations sake but are on a 'mission' have given us a glimpse of the future. Companies that wish to change the world rather than just suck it dry. Lets see.<BR/><BR/>Nico. I hear what you're saying but Hip Hop is yet to go mainstream in China and its gathering steam. I've seen local forms of Hip Hop in the shit holes of Burma to Mumbai and I assure you that wherever there is real discontent (not blinged up wannabe gangsters and their hos) there will be room for hip hop. I did write about the reasons disenfranchised cultures all around the world identify with hip hop in that post Darkie.<BR/><BR/>As for big business. Its pathological in most circumstances. Wealth creation for wealth creations sake is the growth that we're choking on and big business takes responsibility until it changes. Its just logic.<BR/><BR/>Will - I totally know what you're saying. All I can say is find a home where people embrace curiousity. Put prestige, kudos, salary and all the other stuff last on the list of job hunting, and if you put nurturing your curiosity first you'll be fine. Sometimes we can't afford to choose we can work with and in those instance its important to take care of ourselves. Spiritually, psychologically and creatively. Otherwise it all gets sucked out very quickly.Charles Edward Frithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09231685619963486690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6402480621391937537.post-87830238513875472512008-05-05T13:19:00.000+00:002008-05-05T13:19:00.000+00:00Two things:1: Hip hop is dead.( look at sales, loo...Two things:<BR/><BR/>1: Hip hop is dead.( look at sales, look at creativity)<BR/><BR/>2: Hip Hop was started in the streets, but it took Def Jam ( a Label) to take it to the top and it took other labels securing major distribution ( Cah Money, Bad Boy, Death Row, Roccafella) to make it main stream. It took a white boy to brake al the dams.<BR/><BR/>So while it is fun and it is good to trash big business and their marketing departments, without them stuff will not get done (all things in life are politics.<BR/><BR/><BR/>So before we ask anybody to prove anything, let's have a trackrecord of our own..<BR/><BR/>Great post,...the title alone made my day.

Maybe it's just a question of generation.<BR/><BR/>But another reason for a lack of braveness and vision in most companies is: people who apply there and who get the job only apply there, because they heard they are cool and a good company to work at. But those people are not even interested in the product of the company. How should they develop a vision and a brave approach to marketing. Especially since they have a controller sitting in their back. <BR/><BR/>I think it's different in companies like Apple or Google, where people work that really know their shit.<BR/><BR/>Keep on going, Charles.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02296674800044838997noreply@blogger.com
