YO! MTV Raps revolutionized the music game by introducing the masses to a new art form rising from the streets; rap music. This show provided a platform for powerful lyrics and messages to flow from urban America to the living rooms of middle America. Rap music helped raise the profile of many under-reported issues facing Americans such as racism, injustice, violence and lack of opportunity. We invite you to use this discussion board to talk about how rap music has helped elevate issues important to you or your community, discuss how this music genre changed popular culture, influenced political issues, and empowered millions to fight for what they believe in.
