Skipp Coon On Air: RAP - Rhythm And Poetry-Creative Expression and Art

Dr. Christopher Johnson writes: "The messages in Hip Hop, and all forms of popular music existing within the America project can expect to be affected and for the most part controlled by corporate machinery. In fact, it is the will of the corporation beyond the innovation of the artist that must dominate the relationship in order for that relationship to exist at all." See Voxunion.com.
