A 22 Female's letter to Hip Hop Repblican.com

Dear Hip Hop Repblican.com

HipHop is THE MOST EFFECTIVE POLITICAL AND EDUCATIONAL TOOL in young black america today. I've received more education on important black historical figures of all types and black historical references of events from all time eras through the words of Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Common Sense, The Last Poets, Erykah Badu, Jill Scott, Nas, DEAD PREZ, Blackalicious, etc. etc. than I have in either my expensive college preparatory school from which I received an Honors Degree and my experience at a Division 1 college.


A Hip Hop Repblican replis back!

I used to do hip hop, I know what hip hop is and what HIP HOP IS...if you know what I mean.

I am not concerned with what Afrikan B. wanted it to be, or what KRS-1 professes it is, I am looking at the real...and that is that it is an industry taken over and puts the worst of us on display to us, and reinforce for us a negative perception of ourselves. White people tried to do it in the old days, black people today do it better than white people ever could.

I like positive hip hop, or even neutral hip hop. I an even stand some of the materialistic crap, but just like a little medication can heal you and an overdose will kill you, hip hop is at its overdose stage and it is killing us.
