Why are you guys talking about Hip Hop on the show? What do you care? Hip Hop is going over the hill and it should. After 2 Pac, this particular music hasn't been that creative and rather redundant.
Do you think talking about Hip Hop music representing the Black culture? I know it's not just about Hip Hop music but the whole music genre. Knock the music industry off the show. Pop music is dead and so is industry. Let it fall.
