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

When they say Hip Hop, I get confused. Rap. You should say Rap. Where are the DJs, The Break-Dancers, The Graffiti Artists and the Beat-Boxers on this show for them to be blamed for it too?! If that doesn't make sense they should say Rap, not blame the whole Culture for what Rappers are Rapping about.
