That is so funny I just had a conversation about exactly that last night with my hard core punk rock buddy. He said that Hip-Hop and Punk Rock are basically the same in that they both push for revolutionary change, the two genres just represent two very different cultural sects with the same goal.
For sure, I heard that hip hop was manipulated and picked up by the mainstream specifically for the purpose of steering it away from politics and social movements. That’s how we ended up with “money and hoes”.
hahahah nice, I always thought of myself as punk inside but at the core it is really the same thing :-D
