Dr. Cornell West on Hip Hop

[MC The Rapper]

"Hip-hop was a particular response of a slice of the black underclass to (1) overcome their social misery, (2) sustain some sanity and dignity in their rituals with their Friday and Saturday night parties, and (3) try to keep alive a black music tradition."

This was just posted on his facebook wall. You wouldn't believe how many people are crying that Hip Hop is dead and nothing but a corporate tool. Like Slaughterhouse, Lupe, Nas, J. Cole, Yelawolf, BOB, Twista, Jay Rock, etc. ain't making music. Like there aren't people all over Asia ad Europe b-boying and graphing. Like local DJ's ain't mixing, scratching, and flipping records.

Shits disgustin

slaughterhouse is trash, bob is trash, yelawolf is ok, j.cole is ok , lupe just put out a shit album , so hip hop is dead to me , nothing to really get excited about and nothing really redeeming about the music.

Yea how the fuck are you gonna call those rappers trash and at the same time try to be a rapper? Is that you admitting you are trash too? Or do you think you are better than everyone of those niggas? If you are then more power to ya and mad respect but you gotta prove that first before I believe you.
