	CIIJ.org Newswatch
		I, myself, as someone who is a writer making a living writing political stuff for hip hop magazines, have seen a big change over the last couple of years, as the media industry has gone through downsizing and tough economic times.
		What's happened in the last five years is this huge hip-hop activist movement that sprouted up in cities across the country and the biggest manifestation of that was this summer, the National Hip Hop Political Convention in Newark, New Jersey.
		If you look at the way the hip hop generation has come of age, the music, the art, the culture, the politics and activism, it reflects these broad changes that have occurred in American society that are not necessarily for the better.

		Hip hop has also been used as a tool for the youth of Senegal to engage in a meaningful dialogue with their elders and politicians about their displeasure with their country’s political and religious leaders.

		Hip hop is popular for a number reasons: on a cultural level, the idea of speaking, singing and rhyming over a raw beat is not a foreign idea for most countries in Africa.

	The Session: Discussions - Rap/Hip Hop and Irish Music
		Hip hop music is a cultural movement that sometimes makes political statements; in some circles, even playing Irish music is a political statement more powerful than words or lyrics.
		Irish music is the love of my life, but I'd prefer good hip hop with soul to some of the lame "tasteful" Irish trad.
		In hip hop somebody starts a beat (beatboxing, which is vocal, or instrumental) and people freestyle which is rhyming words and phrases off the top of your head.

	Salon Directory
		I recently heard an industry rumor, though, that amounted to a challenge: Spend some hours with Jean at his Platinum Sounds studio and try to emerge being converted to the belief that this utterly imperfect artist-- heavy on political correctness, light on hit songs -- is one of the greatest acts in hip-hop history.
		That he's favored by two former presidential hopefuls -- Al Gore, who gave Jean a public "shout-out" in 2000, and Howard Dean, who deemed him "fantastic" -- doesn't bode well: Any act deemed fit for political endorsement is likely to be as cutting-edge as warm milk.
		Jean's excruciatingly righteous new single, "If I Was President," released via AOL Music, isn't likely to boost his hardcore hip-hop credibility, either.

	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Alternative hip hop
		Alternative hip hop (Bohemian hip hop) is a style of hip hop distinguished by socio-political lyrics, sparse beats that sample few and/or unusual sources (see jazz rap) and uniquely positive rhymes.
		Though most of these bands could be considered "political hip hop" for their lyrical focus, the early 2000s also saw futuristic or apocalyptic rappers like Cannibal Ox, El-P and Aesop Rock, as well as horrorcore rappers like Cage, Ill Bill and Necro.
		However, certain other hip hop genres are also alternative and are sometimes referred to with the same term, including a mixture of heavy metal, hard rock and hip hop that would eventually come to be known as rapcore, and a mixture of 1970s-style soul music and hip hop called nu soul.

		They used a live band for recording and live shows (D.B.C. was an accomplished drummer before joining the group) and were an influential force on jazz-rap fusion and almost every other kind of hiphop-- their songs have been sampled many times.
		They were highly political (Boots later went on to lead the Young Comrades, a group of young political and social activists in the Oakland area) and followed in the steps of such groups as Public Enemy and K.R.S.-One.
		Info: This LA-based group emerged in the early 1990's and espoused a politically-conscious Afrocentric ethos that bucked the gangsta trend established by their fellow Southern Californians at the time.

		And Clear Channel, which owns New Jersey Performing Arts Center, runs that venue, told her no political information could be given out and threatened -- it seemed the venue threatened to close down the concert if there was any political speech.
		But what it does signal to me is that there's a lot of us who are now making a blip on the radar, you know, whether we're organizers at rallies, whether we're musicians, whether we're people who are speaking out, authors, writers, actors.
		You know, more important to me or more important than me you know, being a part of that is the fact that our civil rights are being eroded across the board for every person.

	A “counter history” in hip-hop music
		Through the telling of the history of hip-hop, Chang helps fill a void in political discussion that’s too often forgotten--the social-economic devastation that wrecked American cities and the working class during the 1970s.
		WHEN KANYE West told us a few weeks back that, “George Bush doesn’t care about black people,” we were quickly reminded that hip-hop can be political as much as it can make us dance.
		“I’m not surprised by this...hip-hop tells the micro history, but it also tells the counter-history to the official narrative.”

	Cuban hip hop - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The change in both attitude towards hip hop and the move towards home grown expression was in part facilitated by the involvement of Nehanda Abiodun, a U.S. Black Liberation Army activist in political exile in Cuba.
		Cuban hip hop takes place within the context of Fidel Castro 's maxim "within the revolution everything" which allows for critical debate as long as it isn't seen to be counter-revolutionary.
		With raperos emulating US rappers' aggressive posturing and lyrical content, hip hop was seen as just another cultural invasion from the US, bringing with it the violence and problems of the ghettos.
