Sometimes, hiphop is motivation

One nice example is I Decided., a 2017 album by rapper Big Sean.

It has tracks like: Bounce Back.  I got the Moves.  Voices in my head tell me I can do better // Stick to the plan.  Inspire Me.  Sacrifices.  Bigger Than Me. 

Shout to @BigSean man. You're inspiring. Every single track has meaning. Crazy how much I can relate to every lyric. Thank you! #IDecided

I'm black and I'm a member of the 1%

In the U.S. today, the average African-American household owns just 6
cents for every $1 of wealth held by the typical white household, and
blacks make up just 1.7% of the top 1% of wealthy Americans. But there
are black members of the 1% who are working to change that. 

In this short feature, CNN's Tanzina Vega
investigates the historical and contemporary racial barriers to wealth
creation in the U.S.
