Dead Prez on the State of HipHop

This is the last of the recordings from the 26th annual National Black United Front convention held in Kansas City July 14th-16th. Marcus Brown led a panel discussion which included Dead Prez speaking very candidly about the current state of black cultural production and black youth culture in its media and $$$ dominating embodiment as commercialized RaP {Rhyming and Posing}. About 45 minutes of that panel discussion can be heard on this 16 bit (slightly tinny) 5 megabyte file.
