Race And Violence In Rap And Hip Hop

The hip hop scene is mostly conquered around the black community and race. at the start of the Hip hop and rap, releasing music and the environment that black african americans lived in was very rough and some of the events that were taken place also caused a racial dispute between black rappers/singers and against the police and racist people. One of the most popular tracks that striked back at the racial offense that the police was doing to black people is a song called ‘F**k the Police’ by one of the most inspirational music groups NWA.(Ni**as with attitude)

“Dr. Dre explained the song was created after the members of N.W.A were forced by police to lay face down in the street with guns to their heads.However, the reason why the police were harassing them was because Eazy-E was doing drive-bys shootings on innocent people on bus stops with a paintball gun”
