Hip Hop vs America

[Shoeberto]

I remember when hip hop and rap were socially relevant and important concepts. Now it's just a money making machine. Bah.

Same goes for rock, really. It's sad that basically no forms of music with any social relevancy are capable of hitting the mainstream, though I guess it's worst with rap. Rap could target a market that could use the knowledge to rise up and change things, but instead we get crap that reinforces negative ideologies and perpetuates poor urban lifestyles. It's a shame.
