The Defense of Hip Hop Playlist

In the a recent meeting of city council I was slightly offended by some of the things said about hip hop, rather than write a long diatribe about class stratification and cultural stereotypes even amongst the African American community (punish bad behavior from individuals rather than groups of people, the futility of an exclusionary attitude for any culture or wink wink nudge nudge community, the idea that music hell art should evoke nay provoke an emotional response, the relationship jazz and rap have had over the years yada yada yada) I'm just going to make cool playlist. Here is my Defense of Hip Hop Playlist. To get my general thoughts see my post on black conservatism.
