Ever since it&#8217;s inception in the 1970s in New York&#8217;s West Bronx, Hip Hop has been an artistic force that has spread rapidly throughout the country and is now unequivocally a global phenomenon, from Palestine to Cuba and everywhere in between. Hip Hop has many faces from commercial to underground, hedonistic to conscious. Hip Hop has always been controversial and a subject of contention between genders and generations. To tackle these controversies head-on is my next guest, a favorite here on Uprising &#8211; Michael Eric Dyson. <\/p>\n<p>Michael Eric Dyson is a Professor of Theology, English, and African American Studies at Georgetown University.
