Bekay - Remember
Filed Under: Music Videos, by Nathan S. on May 13, 2011
From Bekay:
“Remember” means a great deal to me personally and to those who have dealt with oppression in any capacity. I have relatives who fled from Europe due to religious persecution during the holocaust and so my involvement with this project is a matter of intense personal interest both as an artist and more importantly as a human being. Although this video captures the oppression of the Jewish people during the Holocaust, it’s intended for any man, woman, or child that has dealt with racism or oppression in one form or another as these issues are still very much alive in 2011.
As an artist, I take great pride in creating authentic music that is both timeless and relevant, intended for the everyday people that are dealing with the trials and tribulations of life. Sadly, I find that the current generation of hip-hop has turned a blind eye to issues that matter, which is contrary to the very building blocks of the art form. Language is a powerful tool and I consider it an obligation for anyone calling themself an emcee to use our words not just for the sake of rhyming, but to transmit our culture and history.
Let us all REMEMBER these tragic events in history so we can never let anything like this happen again. Yom Hashoah.

I'd rather not rate this song, instead taking this moment to thank Bekay for making such an impactful, meaningful, and important record. So few people spoke up during the way - its encouraging to hear artists in 2011 not afraid to do so.

Great song. Great job by Bekay. He uses hip-hop for what it should be, a way to connect people and tell important stories. Here, he brings to light the horrors of the Holocaust to a younger audience so that it won't be forgotten.

Storytelling hip hop is so much more powerful than your average music track. The emotions conveyed are priceless.
