Hip Hop emerged because nothing had changed since the ‘60s,” wrote Sonia Sanchez. Is there a connection between the decline of Black Power politics and the rise of rap and hip-hop? Reporter, writer and columnist MARCUS REEVES certainly believes that Public Enemy could be considered the Black Panthers of rap. Tune in tonight to hear a lively discussion about Afrika Bambaataa, the Sugerhill Gang, Run D.M.C., Chuck D and the irrepressible Flavor Flav and their significance to the political and social life of the inner cities. Marcus’ always interesting and entertaining book is titled: SOMEBODY SCREAM! RAP MUSIC’S RISE TO PROMINENCE IN THE AFTER SHOCK OF BLACK POWER.
