The Blueprint for a Movement (v3, i1)
The Blueprint for a Movement
Volume 3, Issue 1
It’s official. Hip-hop culture has recently been identified by the powers that be as the greatest emerging threat to their iron clad control over the popular culture in the United States of America. Those lacking adequate cognitive and analytical capability may view CNN and Don Imus’ apologist’s crusade to blame hip-hop for pimping, whoring, slanging, banging, ghetto pathology, urban violence, and exploitation as legitimate attempts to identify the source of all of society’s ills. But those who know understand that all of these social ills have existed in this country since the emergence of commerce-based urban metropolises. Ho can that which already existed over 100 years before hip-hop emerged possibly be hip-hop’s fault?
