Letter to the President: the Streets get Political. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll look at the rise of hip hop as a musical, cultural and social movement. Plus, special guests, Kill Radio.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"LetterWe spend the hour this morning taking a look at the rise of hip hop music and culture in response to the social and economic devastation of American inner cities. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll feature a documentary on this subject called Letter to the President. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s directed by Thomas Gibson and focuses on the rise of the Republican right wing in America, and how this has impacted the African-American community. Letter to the President explores the different way in which the policies of the Reagan and Bush administrations have damaged the lives of black youth, from the government-approved distribution of crack cocaine in inner-city neighborhoods to economic policies that have widened the gap between rich and poor. Gibson’s film parallels this phenomenon with the rise of rap and hip-hop music, and how these styles have provided a voice for disenfranchised youth. Letter to the President includes interviews with KRS-One, 50 Cent, Chuck D, Dick Gregory, Amiri Baraka, and many more; Snoop Dogg is the narrator.<\/p>\n
