Description
Hip Hop is revolutionary, it always has been. Since the late 70s, rappers and poets have used verse to speak on the political climate of the time and been the voice for the oppressed. In today's era of Hip Hop, poetry and rap have many different uses; but even still, it takes time to speak on the current times and the things we feel are most important.
