As a follow up to turning in our leadership analysis papers, we were asked a few questions that made me think further into my paper.
What did you consider in preparing this analysis?
One thing I had to consider was the true meaning of a leader in my eyes. The eyes of a woman living in the hip hop culture. How a leader's actions are directly affecting me today, thus causing me to consider writing a paper on him.
I've always been a fan of David Banner since I first heard his production work back in like 1997 or 1998 on a DJ Screw cassette mixtape.
What insights did yo gleam as a result?
The differences between a manager and a leader was profound as I compared sensible acts performed by Crump in leadership with those with more "lights, coverage and cameras". I saw how many of those high profiled "leaders" who were simply managers given a high paid position and lofty title, failed miserably at even good manager tasks.
I saw who I needed to become on the inside in order to carry out my own tasks at hand. I saw more so WHAT I needed to become for myself - since integrity has absolutely nothing todo with other people but more with who you are when you are with yourself.
People are so cynical of hip hop. My life in hip hop will display the possibilities in my culture so often overlooked by the masses.
