I can't think of any lyrics off the top of my head or recall if she used examples. However, I think of many of Tupac's lyrics of the type of thing that she's probably getting at. The juxtaposition of his witnessing depressing events with mention of alcohol and drug use (or wanting to be put out of his misery). I don't profess to be a hip hop person but I have heard a lyric here or there.

I'm all intrigued now, lol. I do think our culture deals with depression and anxiety by turning to alcohol and drugs moreso than going to a 'shrink' which has not been looked upon as a positive thing in our world. I think that is slowly changing, but we still have a long way to go, IMO, as far as dealing with our mental health as a people. I think this problem is reflected in the music. |
