I saw the CNN special on Rap music and I'll say this:

DuBois said that art is supposed to be propaganda. If we were to apply that to rap music today I would say its poison. There is nothing on the radio today that was created to advance the movement or Black folks.

I agree 100%, and no doubt Epitome, Brother DuBois couldn't have said it better. If you look at the true African American transformational Poetry from the last century, it was all propaganda. It was all about the propaganda that promoted progress and change. And, congrats on birthing a future King.
