This Black History Month, "Into America" celebrates the 50th anniversary of hip-hop with a special mini-series, "Into America presents Street Disciples: Politics, Power and the Rise of Hip-Hop." Hosted by Trymaine Lee, the series explores how our country's political and economic forces shaped half a century of hip-hop, and how over time, hip-hop shaped the country.
In episode four, Trymaine explores how in the late 90s, mainstream hip-hop had largely begun to shed its political messaging. Then, the backlash against a Republican government brought politics back to hip-hop once more, leading to the mobilization of a generation and the first hip-hop president: Barack Obama. Listen now, wherever you get your podcasts. |
