Two themes are part of the cornerstone foundation of hip hop – an artist coming from an impoverished or otherwise challenging background, and overcoming these obstacles to escape the situation and amass incredible wealth.
Because many artists in the game started with few resources, little money, and an unlikely escape plan, it’s not hard to understand money and material possession are such a fixation of the everyday rapper. However, for many artists, their new found success is more than a way to benefit themselves, and can be used as a tool to help give back to the communities that made them who they are.
Many rappers, though braggadocious on the track, are actually quite humble when it comes to their philanthropic activity. This means you might not even know about some of the most generous things they’ve done! From huge sums of money donated to charities, social work in court, and even helping out fellow rappers, it seems your favorite artist might have a bigger heart than you thought.
