N.B. June 3, 2007: From this point forward all post in the article /group blog section without thumbnails will be delete by the editor/RBG Street Scholar. This is because such posts compromise the formating of the zine. Furthermore, we refuse to get side tracked with eurocentric rap/pop culture. So, if posts don't jell with the RBG Movement / Rap Genre and the academic nature of the zine,again, they will be deleted. This is not a democracy, but an educational research project; and as such we intend to stay on point regarding our edutainment mission, goals and objectives. Please don't allow the title to make you get it twisted, the full title is RBG Hip Hop/Conscious Rap Music Wikizine.

"Of All The Disciplines Of Study, History Is Best Qualified To Reward All Research". Thus, let's commence the discourse with a brief historical overview.
The Political Origins of Hip-hop:
> Historically poetry/ rap/ spoken word, literature and music have been combine to play a pivotal role in black progress and power, rebellion, revolt and revolution.
Political Rap Started With the Afrikan Talking Drum.
> Because of the perceived potential of talking drums to "speak" in a tongue unknown to slave masters / traders and thus to incite rebellion, in 1838 these and other drums were banned from use by Africans in the United States.
> H “Rap” Brown, known to many of the 1960's/70's Civil Rights and Black Power Movements as the original master rapper. Rap, a given nickname, comes from his being such an eloquent speaker he would be rappin. For more see Dr. Errol Henderson on Black Nationalism and Rap Music and our Hip Hop Audio History.

The Haitian Revolution is a singular event in history. Never before or since has an enslaved people risen up, broken their chains, and established a new state. Haiti was a beacon of hope and inspiration to the enslaved Africans of the United States. Haiti's history has been turbulent, but not for the reasons given by mainstream historians. Racism underlies their charges that the first black republic lacks "democratic traditions" and is prone to violence. Drawing from a wide range of authors... Read Full Story

Geto Boys — World Is A Geto/ From The Resurrection Album
Hip-hop has entertained its fair shar e of misfits, but few groups ever embraced the title as fervently as Houston's Geto Boys. The trio, consi sting of Willie D and rappers Scarface and Bushwick Bill, rose to prominence in the 1990s with an excoriating combination of violent, explicit lyrics and propulsive, minimal beats. The band's third album, 1991's We Can't Be Stopped, boasts the single image that best defines the band's career. On the cover, Bushwick is being rolled into a hospital on a gurney by his fellow bandmates, his face grotesquely swollen and a bandage on his jaw. Bushwick had wound up in the hospital after shooting himself in the eye, following a dispute with his then-girlfriend. Why the dwarfish rapper thought that putting a bullet in his own dome would solve the matter has never been revealed, but it makes for an unforgettable image. The cover perfectly illustrates the never-say-die spirit of the best hip-hop, with a defiant middle finger raised to polite society in the face of impossible odds.
