Abstract
Most of the attacks against Hip-Hop music through time have held at center one conviction: that its artists have no leg to stand on. You lack the credentials! society is quick to fire back. Your concerns are as valuable as a toad’s croak. But Hip- Hop artists have remained effervescent in demanding dignity from this society, refusing to let the bellicose barrage stomp out their message and mission. Through all the storms and static, they still find this their responsibility—to hold the feet of the rich and powerful to the fire, speaking loud for the oppressed and underserved.
