12729844, but in this scenario, Hip Hop, ALL of it, is on trial.

however as a general scope ALL of hip hop doesn't get to be mainstream. The mainstream backed hip hop, by and large, is destructive by design, because of it's racist agenda. R&B is going through something similar.

On the flip side, most wide artists (not genres) get to have a wide range of representation without it ever boiling down to any extrapolating indictment onto the entire race. Miley Cyrus was just wildin' in 2014 but then pops on SNL with her grandma's church affair outfit and sings a country song and all is well.

Racism is everywhere, even in Hip Hop. Hip Hop has done more to encourage the esteem of our identity, right or wrong, good or bad. When has racism ever done that?
