Hip Hop Intertwines With Society & Culture (with D.C. The Great, Alex 'Excel' Cruz & Attila)

On this episode of Hanging with Apes K. Cartoon and Rx Phonics have a round-table discussion with fellow Audio Ape member, D.C. The Great, Jungle Studio's chief music engineer, Alex 'Excel' Cruz and Jungle Studio's videographer and music producer, Attila. The guys start the discussion by talking about the Audio Apes' upcoming project, "Till It Hurts." Naturally the discussion switches to Eminem's single "Untouchable" which tackles systematic racism, white privilege and crooked cops. The discussion leads to the comparison of Eminem's new single with the Joyner Lucas single, "I'm Not Racist." If Hip-Hop is a reflection of our society and culture what does that say about the future of the youth? Furthermore, the Hip-Hop culture has drastically changed due to its mass appeal and the guys analyze on whether or not there will be a "rap renaissance" that will bring the culture back to its roots of story telling and deeper substance.
