Is THIS What HIP HOP Has Become?!? Snoop Dogg, Nelly, the Trump Inauguration, and #TheCulture

Several prominent rap artists including Snoop Dogg, Nelly, Rick Ross, and Soulja Boy, have made a lot of noise for choosing to perform at events linked to the second inauguration of President Donald Trump, in particular, the Crypto Ball, a gathering of the crypto industry supporting Trump's election, and the controversial coins tied to the first family.

Lost in a lot of the emotions but critics and supporters alike, was that these actions, while perpetrated by Hip Hop artists, don't reflect Hip Hop.

Manny Faces. creator of the Hip Hop Can Save America! media ecosystem, breaks it down.
