This excerpt from the Hip Hop Can Save America! livestream show — “Hip Hop News That Isn’t About Dumb Sh*t” — features host Manny Faces and guest co-host Keisha “TK” Dutes discussing the meaningful ways Hip Hop is intersecting with education, activism, community work, and more.
The conversation highlights a Princeton University course on women in Hip-Hop, rapper Nur-D’s stand against ICE in Minneapolis, the legacy of Houston’s Michael “5000” Watts, and the GRAMMY win for Fyutch and his daughter Aura V in the children’s music category.
If you think Hip Hop has lost its depth, its politics, or its power — this segment helps make the case that you’re just not looking in the right places.
