The History of Hip Hop

Like hip hop, one signaled political counterculture in the belly of the beast, United States. But later what this turned into was essentially a type of self-referential version of itself. In the 90s hip hop gets commercialized and it turns into a billion dollar industry. And then these are actually the rappers that end up going to Cuba with this group called Black August. This is a sort of cultural exchange and show of support between American rappers in the 2000s going to Cuba.
