News: Hip-Hop

Hip-Hop having a role in this upcoming presidential election in November is huge. Hip-Hop is working its way into politics and its making an impact. Hip-Hop artists and rapper speak if their opinions within their lyrics. These lyrics attract the young people, also known as the young voters between the ages of 18-25, because they most likely to listen to Hip-Hop and dissect the points the artist is trying to make. I recently attended an even in Manhattan that was titled "Hip-Hop's Role in the Presidential Election." With all the diversity in the elections, from women to an African-American man, the young voters votes are critical. Therefore this discussion was about the role that Hip-Hop plays in the young voters choice. This is the young peoples generation, this is the time for the young voters to finally stand up and let their voices be heard, loud and clear!
