In it’s purest, most honest form, Rap music and Hip Hop have always reflected social narratives where Black people have told and reflected our own, unvarnished narratives. Colloquial Black journalism. Stories about us, by us. This has been true from the Sugar Hill Gang, to Tupac & Biggie, to Lauryn Hill, to Nas, to Lupe Fiasco, to Jay Z, to Sista Souljah, to Beyoncé. Congratulations to Kendrick Lamar on a well deserved Pulitzer Prize. This makes up for that time Macklemore “won” best rapper. (I am now patiently waiting for Beyoncé to win a Pulitzer Prize for Lemonade).

And the answer is yes, it should. There is no reason for every rank and file officer to have a gun, and there should be a public investigation and evaluation every time one is used by an independent group.

The Roots, 1995

The effect of the cultural bomb is to annihilate a people’s belief in their names, in their languages, in their environment, in their heritage of struggle, in their unity, in their capacities and ultimately in themselves. It makes them see their past as one wasteland of non-achievement and it makes them want to distance themselves from that wasteland. It makes them want to identify with that which is furthest removed from themselves; for instance, with other peoples’ languages rather than their own. It makes them identify with that which is decadent and reactionary, all those forces that would stop their own springs of life. It even plants serious doubts about the moral righteousness of struggle. Possibilities of triumph or victory are seen as remote, ridiculous dreams. The intended results are despair, despondency and a collective death-wish.
