This is the same HipHop that is controlled by white men in suits & record labels. this is the same HipHop where radio & television is again owned & controlled by white men. lets put things in to perspective the HipHop being promoted is not the music we loved & that represented us in the 80s & 90's. they only place music is not controlled is on the internet & there still trying to shut that down to. so for him to state that HipHop which historically was created in the struggle of oppression on a group of people who where disadvantage through slavery, drugs & inherited racism is just stupid. what i would asked that same person who makes stupid statements is what have you done to fix the problem? please pick up a book before you make these statements
