The article expresses the author's deep disappointment regarding 90s hip-hop stars aligning with Donald Trump, viewing it as a betrayal of the values that hip-hop embodied for many Black millennials. Hip-hop was a vital part of their upbringing, serving not just as music but as a reflection of their lives, aspirations, and critiques of society. This newfound association with Trump feels like a severing of ties to the cultural and empowering roots that hip-hop once represented, leading to a sense of loss among those who revered the genre as a beacon of hope and identity.
Hip-hop was the oxygen of our childhood, documenting the raw emotion of our lives and reflecting our existence when society often overlooked us.
Our art was more than entertainment; it was a mind, a conference of thoughts that pushed us towards self-reflection and ambitious dreams.
