A black bourgeoisie perspective on U.S. politics
Check out this video. Is popular hip hop (as opposed to some of the smarter, more political artists right now like Kanye West, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, the Roots, Angie Stone, etc) the new minstrel show with both whites and blacks simultaneously ridiculing and exploiting what some people think is “black culture”?
Hmmm?
The maker of this short video uses old school hip hop quotes and a few old stalwarts from back in the day. My personal favorite photo is the guy with the chicken costume. Finger-lickin’ good, y’all!
