"Hip hop, like poetry, encompasses everything about the human experience. It’s easy to forget that hip hop was born using creativity to improve circumstances. When slaves were prevented from learning to read and write, they used coded drumbeats to communicate. Gospel preachers refined the call and response as a means to educate and embed God’s word into people’s minds. Blues musicians turned the repeated cadence into the 20th century’s most influential music form. The first hip hop artists, inner-city kids, put all of these together and didn’t let a lack of resources stop their creativity."
