		To those adopting Hip Hop’s mores as their own in the mid to late eighties the struggle was facing those in our individual support systems who, well intended as they may have been, thought that the mores of Hip Hop were some sort of disease we acquired by listening to the radio late at night.
		The Hip Hop generation who have strong disdain for the current political movement, and have never really been strong advocates of the American political system, could be the generation that makes the necessary global transformation for Blacks throughout.
		And for most of hip hop's 30-something years, folk have been compelled to point out the sexism, misogyny and homophobia that finds a forum in the lyrics of the young fl and brown men who have primarily influenced the genre, and the lack of a womanist perspective that could directly counter those lyrics.

		Of the three, the Chinese American trio of Chops, Peril and Styles, better known as the Mountain Brothers, are the most likely to break through into the mainstream rap world.
		They were the first Chinese American rap group ever signed to a major industry contract, but after a protracted process with Ruffhouse, the label released the group early this year with only a promotional single to show for its trouble.
		While Asian American rappers still face an uphill battle among skeptical label execs and audiences, Asian American DJs have made their mark and are now accepted as unquestioned pioneers who are sure to be a continuing force as turntablism evolves.

	CBC.ca - Arts - Music - Canadian Hip Hop vs. America
		These were the early days of hip hop as empire: rap, once discounted as an inner-city fad that would flame out as disco and funk did before it, spent the turn of the ’90s tightening its persistent, platinum-fingered grip on American music.
		American superstar producers are trusted to break new names – Dr. Dre is the puppet master who breathed life into 50 Cent and Eminem.
		Hip hop turned hard and dirty; the Maestro, who made his name wearing and rhyming about “a fl tuxedo with a cummerbund,” stood still and became an anachronism.

	Michael Viola, "Filipino American Hip-Hop and Class Consciousness: Renewing the Spirit of Carlos Bulosan"
		This essay is my attempt to write about Filipino American hip-hop from a historical materialist perspective with the deeper understanding that hip-hop is an art form that was created "for the people." I begin with an analysis of hip-hop and its absorption into a culture of capitalism.
		Among Filipino Americans, a critical consciousness of and opposition to alienation and racial oppression emerged decades earlier.
		Omitted from the psyche of Filipino Americans by schools, the media, and other state apparatuses, however, is the critical understanding that there is a deep tradition of resistance that unites Filipino cultural work with activism.

		All those Native American rap songs are the same, always bragging about how many beads they have and the heap fly bitches.
		Opening were a number of Native American Punk and Hip Hop acts.
		I have to say that they were not exactly my cup of tea, and that I was disappointed in the number of sweeping statements like "Free all political prisoners!", but from what I observed, these groups were really inspiring to their people.

		Full Nelson: Unfortunately whoever was pioneering that movement thought that pop was the way, but pop wasn’t the way because hip hop is the way.
		I just realized that there was this whole culture, a movement going on internationally that us as Americans were unaware of really, at least in my sector and I’ve always been hip-hop affiliated.
