Documentary About The Link Between The Music Industry, Prison & Economics Part 1

Below is an interesting documentary about the link between commercial rap music, the history of Black culture, incarceration, and the economy. They speakers even touch on the relationship of the Telecommunications Act and the end of the golden-era of hip hop.

This video includes wisdom such as:

“Imagine judging Jazz by Kenny G.”
“We haven’t done enough to combat what they are going to do, which is to distort and destroy any potentially positive, progressive element that we produce in any form.”
“The smile in your face and stab you in the back.”
“We are in the second middle passage.”
