Music is a very powerful tool. It can be used to empower and disempower individuals. That is why the age old adage “the pen is mightier than the sword” is still very true and relevant in this day and age. Looking back at the music that was created in the 1980s by South African artists, the songs were calling for freedom. The music then increased people’s political consciousness and made them aware of what was going on in their world. However, the music nowadays appears to be degrading , mostly, women and about getting rich. Some people argue that they only listen to the beat, however, is it possible to only listen to the beat and ignore the lyrics?
