Revolution of Hip hop & Rap

I remember when hip hop & rap was hated and challenged in it's beginning stages. Some of it's biggest supporters today were opponents years ago. Hip hop & rap is a God given craft. But what God gives is what others fight against. Ignorance played a huge factor in it's early stages. Critics would say that it's not a true art form and that sampling older artists music was a form of thievery and a lack of talent. Criticizers cared not to mention that most black artists back then did not own the publishing or the copyrights to their music. And even though most of those artists revolted against hip hop & rap. It is the biggest reason why black artists of all ages bennefit from royalties & ownership today. Hip hop fought the goodfight and did direct it in the ways of freedom. For what most of our parents created but did not own, we came and claimed ownership. The battlefield was multi-leveled and was felt throughout the muscular system. Racial discrimination played it's role upon the business. And other ethnicities did embark on the oppressive mutual agreement. Hip hop is the culture and rap is the voice. It was not born out of thin air, but was and is of it's original creators. The revolutionaries of truth & justice in music and beyond, are the foster parents of hip hop. And is the original voice of rap. So many to mention that we write their names in endless comments. When the industry blamed them, God proclaimed them among the highest mountains. Keith Sweat put the boom in R&B. And I can guarantee, his biggest fans was hip hop & R A P. You better ask somebody babay.
