I can't really say I agree OR disagree. What exactly does it mean for the community to "reclaim" hip-hop? There are already tons of people out there making what most would consider "real" hip-hop (although I hate that term) -- so it can't just be more people making music.

Is it boycotting non-"real" artists? Is it boycotting non-"real" stations? Boycotting labels owned by non-urban/black business interests?

Pairing rapping again with dancing, DJing, and graff?
