 Hip-hop is beyond black nationalism. Hip-hop is not hung up on counter-supremacy because it reigns supreme like all the other dope fiends. Hip-hop is half black and half Japanese. Digital chips on the shoulders of African lips. Hip-hop is black Prozac. Hip-hop is if you can't join them, beat them. If you can't beat them, blunt them. Hip-hop is black sadomasochism. Hip-hop is where the hurting ends and the feeling begins. Or is that the other way around?
