  1. I saw a "Piece" of this program on The View Friday posted by Sunny Hostin. A segment featuring Black Women in Hip Hop's History and continued evolution and was struck by a question regarding Black Men supporting Black Women.

    The prevailing consensus among the Women was for Black Men to:

    "Get Out The Way."

    News Flash: Sistas

    "WE AIN'T GOING NOWHERE.
    WE HOLDING FIRM AND IN CHARGE."

    Being that:
    WE CREATED THE DAMN THANG!!!

    Being that:
    WE ARE THE FATHERS AND SONS AND GRANDSONS OF THE ART FORM.

    Being that:
    THE HIP HOP ARTFORM AND CULTURE (IS) AND WAS CREATED BY FOUNDATIONAL BLACK AMERICAN MALES

    Being that:
    "WE ARE THE TABLE" AND CONTINUE TO–"SET THE TABLE"–FOR ALL THAT PARTAKE OF THIS BRILLIANTLY INFECTIOUS AND EARTH CHANGING ARTFORM.πŸŽ€πŸŽ§πŸŽ›

    Being that:
    WE the Ones YOU WAN'T–
    WE the Ones You Coming AT.
    WE the Ones You Wanna Know?
    "WHAT WE GON DO NEXT."

    HIP HOP IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO BE
