celeb's for Obama

Chuck D on Hip Hop & Obama at Behind the lens where Spike Lee was honored. Chuck D sure is one articulate man. Hip Hop's youth can learn a lot from him and see how effective speech like his can be to the masses. While reading the comments on this video one user wrote:

I am gettin' seriously tired of these news medias. Tryin' to involve the "Hip Hop" genration in the political BULLSHIT! Hip Hop muzik doesn't have a DAM thing to with it period. Its a culture of muzik driven idealist (artists). That just simply state whats purely good & bad! When it comes to commenting on all political evils. The medias in america are indeed full of SHIT! they always want to involve Hip Hop muzik culture in its evil.

Now obviously this man either A: Has never listened to Hip Hop music. B: Only listens to the most minuet of Hip Hop music/artist. or C: Either A or B and can't spell to save his life. First off for those who may not know, Hip Hop is a culture. It is/was inspired by the plights blacks were facing in America. In the late 70's musicians felt the need for an outlet to speak of the hardships of the organized ghetto's and suppression felt. Though there is few artist like Solja Boy who speak of nonsense, a great majority of rappers speak on their experience of growing up in America with its politics and racism. Many artists are now considered to be underground hip hop when they attempt to reflect what they believe to be the original elements of the culture. Artists/groups such as Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Dilated Peoples, dead prez, Blackalicious, and Jurassic 5 may emphasize messages of verbal skill, unity,activism instead of messages of violence, material wealth, and misogyny.
