The Letter of the Culture of Hip Hop Music vs Mass Incarceration (The Secret Meeting)
By Jamilah Lanay Knox

• It’s not just a conspiracy, promotion of crime in our communities funded by the music industry. Hip Hop culture has been exploited. The way we survive in this world that has been systematically placed so we would not have employment and education, reduced down to crime and incarceration.

• If you have heard of cointelpro, an agency within the Federal Bureau of Investigations. They were constructed to demolish the black organization and have found their way into the organizations of the inner cities of America, governing and policing to control a population of people and culture. The Bloods, the Crips and Gangsta Disciples all have started out to help to fight against the injustices of this country. But the infiltration of these organizations has diverted the causes, causing a mass-genocide the killing of Black Americans by other Black Americans.

• If you take our education then you have taken away housing and the chance to build black families and our community. How else does someone who has been forced to live in a country and not know the language, not understand the government and politics of the lands, be able to live the American Dream?

• The portion of this is the sounds that came, those cages and hoods that have been assigned to us in the United States. Our community, our pain introduced to a beat. The struggle of trying to crawl out of poverty that has been forced upon us, from the depths of slavery. The Label Executive pressed artists to create music that promoted violence and drug trafficking. The drug trade took care of families and helped people who were the have-nots, then turning them into the haves.

• Hip Hop music has been the focal point of the black community. It has grown our wealth and class by tremendous margins in recent decades. The music industry has become an integral component in our culture as a where where no result of our music and culture. We have been instrumental in creating a place to share our own history in this world. The most famous example is of Young Thug who was facing the RICO act, a young artist from Atlanta who has inspired the music industry in recent times to make the most sought and memorable in Hip Hop court case about the struggles of our times. Locking in impacts of our times.

• So what is mass incarceration? It’s locking up artists for lyrics that are marketed by the music industry. Today’s example is Young Thug, Sean Diddy Combs, Lil Durk, and Big U Turn, who are facing the Federal Indictment for the RICO Act.
