“Hip hop is art, it is literature, it is poetry, it is free speech, it is journalism, and it should be protected as such. It should not be criminalised.” Congressman Jamaal Bowman, whose district includes the Bronx, NY, the birthplace of hip hop.

I think hip hop can be characterized as poetry with beats and sometimes a melody. I think hip hop bestrides that twilight intersection where poetry meets music.

What does hip hop mean to you?
