Hip Hop Raised MeIn 2008, with help from Jay Z and Puff, Barack Obama got the hip hop vote, and became the first African American to be elected president. For a brief moment, the "Audacity of Hope" seemed attainable. The 2014 Ferguson riots signaled the end of that hope, and in 2016 the hip hop community had to grapple with the election of Donald J.

In 2008, with help from Jay-Z and Puff, Barack Obama got the hip hop vote, and became the first African American to be elected president. For a brief moment, the "Audacity of Hope" seemed attainable. The 2014 Ferguson riots signaled the end of that hope, and in 2016 the hip hop community had to grapple with the election of Donald J. Trump as Obama's successor. Now more than ever, hip hop artists such as J. Cole and Kendrick Lamar are the voice of the voiceless.

In the new, updated compact edition of Hip Hop Raised Me., DJ Semtex examines the crucial role of hip hop in society and reflects on the positive influence it has had on his own life, and the lives of disaffected youths from generation after generation. Featuring specially commissioned photography and seminal interviews he conducted with key artists such as Jay-Z, Kanye West, Eminem, Drake, Nicki Minaj, and Nas, Semtex traces the course of hip hop from its origins in the early 1970s through its breakthrough to the mainstream and the advent of gangsta rap in the late 1980s to the global industry that it has become today.

Good basic shirts for regular wear
Number of Items: 2, Color: Black, Size: X-Large
I bought these for exercise recently and they’ve been really noice. The cotton feels thick but not too heavy, and after a few washes the color hasn’t faded much at all. They run a bit big -just feels a bit loose, but thats pretty comfy and actually nice since it circulats air nicely Heres some pros and cons for ya. Pros: Nice heavy cotton, not thin like some other brands Holds color pretty good after washing 2 pack is good value Cons: Sizing runs a little big Shrinks a bit in dryer if you use high heat Overall solid everyday tshirts for casual wear and stuf- nothing fancy but they do the job and feel like they’ll last longer than the most ones i feel.

Fits well and feels great. The material is breathable but does not look or feel cheap. The fabric has the right thickness and can be worn all year around
