NEW YORK, Sept. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Hip-hop culture and controversy have always made for familiar bedfellows. Yet, in the wake of the Imus controversy and in a year when the genre's sales have tumbled, hip-hop finds itself under an exceptional amount of scrutiny and pressure -- and the stakes have never been higher. BET NEWS takes a powerful and compelling look at the state of hip-hop today in a three-part series titled HIP HOP vs. AMERICA. Hosted by BET's own Toure and Jeff Johnson, this special showcases a candid, heated forum that will allow audiences to hear the opinions of prominent leaders in the hip-hop industry, the political realm, academia and the Black church

  • "It ain't that deep man, It ain't that deep" Soo funny

  • @flipperboy but heavy metal is way less popular than hip hop rite or wrong?? its just da truth

  • Did he just call the reporter "babycakes?"

  • M. Dyson makes alot of good point but how he relates that scene to slavery is his own interpretation. hip hop is basically facing what heavy metal faced in the 80s, and yes the current state of hip hop at this time, like alot of metal bands at the 80s, is that it is total commercial bullshit however most of the claims made by its critics are mostly unjustified, understandable but unjustified
