THE POWER OF HIP HOP

where do we start with hip hop? Maybe from t.i. being shot at by police and his friend being murder. How about the gangster rapper 50 cent rolling with a entourage of police and Teflon vest. You cant forget the bullet and bomb proof jeep him and his crew roll in. Nas being denied to perform at a Virginia tech concert for the students who lost their lives. critics saying nas is big for his violent and profanity in music,like "i know i can" and "if i rule the world" lol. The power of hip hop employs those who were stuck on the streets, even grants wealth to the pour. At the same time the power of hip hop influences weak minded youth or lost youth into degrading and pursuing a life of crime. If you can think of any more ways hip hop power has help or destroyed something give an example.

I thiink the hip hop community joining together back in the 80s helped out when they made the krs-1
song "self destruction" it was a honest attemp at the community trying to get the race to unify and love one another.

i think the hip hop industries need more positive rappers, most the ones i be hearing are very negative and disrespectful.
i use to listen to rap music from 'ridin dirty' to 'my lumps' by in monroe and the music kinda made me pump and full of energy!
but because of this i use to get into fights and went to juvy at 14.
