Splicing together snippets of underground, old school and modern day hip hop Joe Wiseman is able to put together an interesting piece that illustrates the necessity of supporting meaningful hip hop. With the anger that many feel towards the empty lyrics of today's soulja boys, Joe Wiseman builds the case for looking to ourselves and our own communities to fill that void. In a concise 6 minutes the listener is able to really feel the struggle that hip hop has and will continue to go through when the bottom line is how much you can sell.

A good look
This was nice. A variety of hip hop was featured. Some balance with negative and positive of the genre. Well delivered.
