More often than not, if you were to see a comparison between a rapper and violinist, society would tell you how the rapper is some thug that only cares about money, cars, weed and girls.
On the flip side, the violinist would be viewed as this elegant person that just gets it.
As you know by now, Iman Shumpert is a rapper and he decided to speak on the topic at hand.
I’ve been rapping my whole career. I have hundreds and hundreds of songs, but no one would know unless I release them. Sad thing is, if I were to be a violinist, I would be more “respected” and “praised” for my “talent” off the floor. The flip side is being a violinist takes hours and hours and hours of preparation to become anywhere near good. It’s not something you can do during the course of a basketball season.
Shump makes some real valid points there.
What do you guys think?
