How the hell would you know what the roots of hip hop are?
Are you from the South Bronx? did you grow up black in an american ghetto?

You can study, you can have empathy, but you just don't know.

The under current of hip hop has little to do with what is recorded on wax. It's like Egyptian Pottery showing kmt's, ethiop's and greeks.
