has his own philosophy about the freestyling genre of rap.
“It depends on the individual, but I think that most people havei
rhyme memory bank that they work from on stage,” Ehligsaid
As each student who raps seems to have a different perspective
on hip-hop-related topics, each of these men agree that the hip-hop
scene at A&M is lacking.
"Hip-hop is not well-represented at A&M, and 1 felt likelwasm
culture shock when I came here,” Ehlig said. “I have been listening
to rap since 1 was 11, and I feel like no one here does at all, except
to dance to the beats.”
It does not take a place with a significant hip-hop scene forte
rappers to find inspiration, but Williams feels more of a hip-hop
scene would spur positive change.
"I feel A&M needs more of a hip-hop presence because it isi
doorway to diversity," Williams said. "Diverse students want to
come to a place where they know they will get diverse entertm
ment. 1 know I don’t want to hear Pat Green.”

Many critics who study the hip-hop culture use the term “the
struggle” to categorize the inspiration for many rap songs.
“The term, ’the struggle.' is overused and almost cliche tome
Everybody struggles, and most people define it as simply growinj
up in the hood and trying to get things.” Okafor said. "I rapabotit
more of the struggle of black people as a w hole, which isastm
tural racism based on a class system that has been perpetuate:
over the years.”
All three of these rappers are passionate about music, andOkafc
said “inspiration can be found anywhere.”
"As I grow and mature and have more, real-life experiences, I
w ill forever better express myself through song," Williams said
"Somebody asked me the other day why w riting papers forschoolis
more difficult for me than w riting a song. I hat question issimpleto
answer because it is writing w ith my mind versus my heart."

Williams is currently negotiating a record deal and will be mov
ing between Atlanta and California to explore career options. Okafor
is hoping to start his master’s of fine arts degree and will continueto
work on his demo.
"I w ant to he heard by as many people as possible. To me. the
ultimate expression is w hen you are able to get as many people to
hear and understand what you have to say," Okafor said. "If three
million people dance to my song, taking them away fromaperson-
al problem for three minutes. I will be satisfied."
