Music is an art of expression, & opinion. Hip Hop in one way shape or for has always been political. PARENTAL ADVISORY meaning the contents may not be suitable for everyone’s listening pleasure but Yet protected by the 1st Amendment (Freedom of speech). Don’t like it change the station. Just as everyone else in this great imperfect country we all have the right and freedom of speech and opinion. If you feel Hip Hop is too political or knock an artist for expressing his given right for his voice to be heard on a POSITIVE TOPIC That would most def. be your opinionated right. So lets keep listening to the songs about the B!tchs, G@ns, Drugs, and Murder… Big Up to to those who can recognize positive change…..

Hip-Hop is by nature political. Read the history behind it. The politics of abandonment stupid.

Fuck all that why hip hop is getting political shit!!!!! At least i can listen to something that doesnt have to deal with bitches hoes drugs and money for a chance. At least he doin somethin positive and he dont have that fucking electronic T Pain voice on that shit cause every song on the radio has it now!!!! LOL The reason hip hop is in the state that it is, is because people stopped listening to it for quality and lyricism, and idiots started to listen to it just for entertainment. Now even artist that actually have some lyrical content dumb they shit down so they can make a fucking dollar!!!!

Hip-hop is getting political? Ever heard of…I don’t know…Public Enemy or KRS-1? Maybe politics is making it’s way into more ‘mainstream’ hip-hop and people are noticing?

thewhjat: I agree with alot of what you said in your first post, but to suggest in your second post that someone who isn’t pro-Obama is Repulican or racist is ridiculous.

i hate that hip hop is getting all political right now, i listen for my entertainment and i don’t want to hear whining about shit, and i don’t want to hear what some uneducated person who doesn’t know two shits about the political system as a whole, free markets, economics, the environment, or shit at all basicly tell me a bunch of bullshit that is ignorant if you understand what they are talking about. and im real sick of hearing communist bullshit in rap like immortal technique, i won’t even bump his shit anymore
