? has Hip Hop had a Positive or Negative overall effect on America

'Hewlett-Packard inks marketing deal with Jay-Z'.. That doesn't even sound right. what in the hell does hip hop have to do with computers?.. That is just one example of the influence that hip hop has had on America. Hip Hop has been a dominant force in white america since '96-'97. but it blew the hell up when Eminem came and they could identify phsically with someone who was actually good at the craft.. From brand name shoes to premium liquor, artists have made $2 out of a dime and continue to help race in America blossom with tremendous speed.. We've tried several different ways to help race in this country, but it seems to me that hip hop is the best medicine.. I personally don't think Barak Obama would have had the same success if not for hip hop culture.. Seeing African Americans progressing financially and culturally over the last 15 years has made it much easier for other races to accept Obama.. Sports is a definite staple in our countries culture. and that's one of the biggest areas where hip hop has taken over.. Certain people such as Oprah, and Bill O'Reilly (who's a prick anyway) look to cencor the music, and discredit the genre as if there is no true talent.. But their ignorance is surpassed by only their hypocracy. they both promote wanting to progess our nation, but neither is willing to actually set personal interest a side and validate the influence that Hip Hop has created.. Oprah had superho. I mean superhead on her show. but wouldn't allow Ludacris, Ice Cube, or 50 Cent on her show. that's bullshit, and an injustice to everyone in the craft. executives included. oh yeah Oprah also found time to attended L.A. Reid's (Chairman of Def Jam Records) birthday bash. I guess politics never stops.. But even she can't stop the movement, nor the creativity that will continue to make Hip Hop the biggest influence on America today... What do you think?-
