Nobody has forgotten about the high-profile feud between Ludacris and Bill O’Reilly. It was that event that made it clear Fox News does not care about hip hop, in fact, they will do anything to abolish it. Despite his business efforts and his incredible levels of success, not even Jay-Z can escape Fox News’ criticism.
People who actually know hip hop know that Jay-Z’s music is basically a business seminar. This man is worth close to $500 million and by listening to his lyrics closely, normal people could get a better idea of how to profit. But, the mainstream world doesn’t pay that much attention.
A conversation that should have been about Martin Luther King, Jr. and his accomplishments turned into something else. For hip hop to be often called ignorant, it was the mainstream media playing the part. Instead, they talked about hip hop and argued about Jay-Z.
