Complete garbage.
Hip Hop is the destruction of American culture.
To paraphrase from this silliness:
How can one even begin to think that the Left is even remotely inclusive or that anyone in the communities that love hunting, freedom or God — black, white, young and not-so-young — would ever vote for a liberal?

If leftists hope to succeed in reaching the minds – and votes – of an enormous segment of society that crosses all American boundaries, they need to better understand hunting, freedom and God...
It’s not the music. I enjoy Irish traditional music and rebel songs, drinking songs and ballads, but if you’ve tried them and don’t like them I have no problem with you. Hip Hop and Rap do nothing for me (with the exception of a few mislabeled Hip Hop tunes that are more like R&B/Motown) but if you wish to listen to them, enjoy yourself.
It’s the culture that accompanies the music that is the problem. If you can enjoy the music but reject the culture, we welcome you. I rejected the Irish rebel IRA culture when the killing went from occupying British troops and Northern Irish paramilitary oppressors to car bombing whoever happened to be nearby. Learning of the newer IRA leadership’s Marxist leanings sealed the deal. But I still enjoy the songs.
“it hasn’t yet transcended political lines”
How can it? Hip hop doesn’t come from Conservative middle class working families in Republican districts. It comes from poverty driven Democrat districts. Everything they know comes from that.
Sorry, PC claptrap speak...clearly indicates a liberal is talking so I don't listen.
BTW, hip hop or whatever flavor of gangsta crap they produce is just that, crap.
Even the IDIOTIC hip hop Cheerios commercial has made me stop and reevaluate my continued consumption of their product.
Unless you consider criminality a culture, as in The Gangs of New York. What, we're to emulate Irish wharf-rats and street ruffians of the 1840's? The Bowery Boys?
Same difference. They rebelled against us, and we are supposed to "reconcile" with them?
Absolutely!
A definite appeal to a certain demographic...interesting how that works after they keep touting it’s “heart healthy” aspects towards old folks...
White Music Executives love hip hop, why?
Because it’s cheap to produce.
