Rap music is a mirror of our community. This mirror has been an instrumental tool to the empowerment of our culture. It also has been a tool to shed light on our struggle as a people. It is arguably one of the most important achievements this country has ever produced. An artform which has transformed ghetto youth into moguls, pioneers, entrepreneurs, activists, editors, A-list actors and so forth. History teaches us that when this mirror we call rap music no longer depicts the true image of our community and circumstance, the people holding the mirror are held accountable and indicted by the people. Once again we are in a moment of time where this mirror does not truly reflect the plight of our people.
