Midwest and Down South Create
The Coasts Exploit and Profit
"I'm going to TAKE this to NY"
"I'm going to TAKE this to LA"
Hip Hop as a way out.
Was Hip Hop
the first genre
to provide social commentary
on institutional racism and
abject living conditions of
Blacks in America?
I don't think so. These
guys didn't have any
vocal acumen or musical
talent so they had to resort
to spoken word and looped
electronically created beats.
And what is the point of
making social commentary on
institutional racism and abject
living conditions for people
living in those conditions?
THEY ALREADY KNOW ABOUT IT!
Hip Hop
glorifies the problems of
low-income Black life -
because lower class Blacks are
the only ones (in a position
to do anything about it
anyway) who actually understand
it.
Those suburban white kids who buy
your shit? They just posers.
They are looking for an outlet for their
"rebellious spirit".
A way to piss off their parents.
Most don't know the struggle.
They just want the trouble (Pac).
But YOU
You, Black Man...
If you are rolling around in
your own filth, what does
that make you? A pig, in my
opinion.
