Hip Hop was an outlet for urban youth in the inner cities back in the mid to late 70's who were stricken by poverty and racism. It was used as a backlash against "White America" and promoted the black experience. Hip Hop introduced these experiences to a wider audience. Black people did not destroy Hip Hop. Corporate America did and now we have manufactured imitations of African American stereotypes because they don't want to hear the truth anymore.
The truth is that there is still injustice, poverty and racial division against minorities. They don't want to hear the truth because they know they are very much apart of the problem.
My 2 cents and THANKS for the article I agreed with it.
