This is what I was talking about yesterday when I cited going to shows as a way of contributing to white co-option of hip hop. As a white person, this is none of my business; as a hip hop fan, I've found it troubling for many years.
Brother Ali lends an interesting vantage point to this article. My favorite quip: "white chitlin circuit of underground rap music."
On a side note, the Perceptionists' Black Dialogue is one of the better indy hip hop releases of the year so far. Worth a listen.
