What do we mean when we say hip hop is political? This week, hosts Dope Knife and Linqua Franqa take a step back to frame the myriad ways that hip hop and politics collide. They journey through the transition from the Civil Rights and Black Power eras to the era of Hip Hop, the social forces that shaped early Hip Hop during the Reagan regime, and concrete illustrations of public policy's impact on the genre. They pick apart popular conceptions of "political hip hop" as a subgenre and take a look at some famed examples as well as some deeper cuts.
