Inside the relationship between hip-hop and the criminal justice system
Long before banning books became prevalent in the United States, hip-hop music was subject to similar censorship – oftentimes because the songs written told the truth about America’s criminal justice system, and shed light on the negative impacts it’s had on countless Black and brown lives. Filling in for Ali Velshi, Charles Coleman Jr. dives into the history of hip-hop censorship and looks at how the genre has evolved over the years with legendary rapper Bun B, and professors Imani Perry and Mark Anthony Neal.

Outside looking in, true. But if people tell me I’m a jerk, I don’t get to say, “no, I’m not.” Self-reflect, look at what I have done to warrant that criticism. We didn’t see that in this interview.

They talk about the actions and hypocrisy about cops and government in the 1990s. But I'm surprised they left out the actions of the US government in the 1990s. It was the white-run CIA which imported and intentionally spread crack cocaine in Black communities across the US. Look up Gary Webb's "Dark Alliance" series of reports in 1996.

Yeah you have hip hop artist who, for the most part, condone violence, crime, promiscuity and drug usage. Then they teach as many kids as possible to act like them because they are considered to be cool.

MSNBC, Fox News, and CNN are propaganda stations owned by white billionaire Brian L. Roberts. He’s the opposite of Rupert Murdoch, although their tactics are the same.
Dr. Cornell Wes for president 2024, if you want to know the truth and real news, go to Democracy now. news stations that are not corporately owned?.

I think at one point you actually could make a argument about rappers being modern prophets, however not today. Most music off today have no message whatsoever. The men are degrading women, women or degrading themselves, I mean it’s a mess. It’s mostly pop music at this point and the main consumers are suburban white kids.

It truly does make the point with the police fallowing right in line by completely missing the message. I believe discrimination and hatred comes out of fear and are also threatened by the good looking and intelligent black man threatening his little boy manhood so he strikes it down. What would I know I am an old white woman who was loving the blues, Reggie and when I first heard hip hop and rap I fell in line. I wish more kids listened to messages of folk Bobby Zimmerman/ Bob Dylan ect because we all have so much to learn from each other to finally understand we all share soo much more than not.
Understanding each other’s battles and demons we can appreciate and show compassion for each other’s pain.

Bun B was just there to give the other guest credibility. Bun spoke, they ain't in touch with the culture at Harvard or Duke, and their negative leaning statements reflected that.
Bun got the least amount of time on a segment about Hip Hop smh…. MSNBC audience is being catered to.
