Whenever anyone mentions hip hop it automatically starts a debate. Its a very controversial topic and interesting topic and it amuses me. As soon as he started and mentioned the word "hip hop" the class suddenly arose as we were all waiting on the tip of our seat to see what the speaker had to say.
With past generations the youth were bold and ready to fight for civil rights. They marched and protested and participated in rallies. They sparked many colleges and universities to look into the civil rights and taking it seriously by showing that they were tired of being pushed around and were no longer going to stand for it.
With this launched a bunch of civil right groups like the Black Panther, who fought hard to get justice for blacks by any means necessary. Groups like this opened up the door for many more to come and furthermore lead to artist that begun expressing their feelings through their music. Artist like James Brown and the Last Poets. And their music lead to the birth of hip hop. A place where people could come and express their creativity and their emotions and have an influence on the world. Just like the civil rights movement
