The art of hip-hop is well entwined in black culture. It serves to voice our experiences and way of life, however over the years our message has been diluted and exploited for a profit.
There is a story of hunters in the Arctic where the indigenous people would stick the handle of a double-edged blade into the ice, and leave the blade protruding. They would put blood on the blade so the wolf smells the blood and wants to eat. So, every time the wolf licks the blade while trying to eat it cuts its tongue. Fooled to believe it is having a good time.
Instead of considering the fact that the hunter put the blade in the ice, the wolf gets blamed because it wants to eat.
Trey (aka Master Barber) is back on the show again to share his opinions from growing up around the golden era of hip-hop. We also have Ishmael Wise who lends his voice as a pan-Africanist and screenwriter to help bring three perspectives to a discussion on how we can preserve our culture as we scrutinise the state of hip-hop.
