The Perfect NPR story

Is there a place on earth that hasn’t used rap music to assert its long-suppressed cultural identity? NPR has not found that place. Just in the last two days we’ve had the Crow Nation and the Taiwanese. Previously: “A New Beat Gives Young Mongolia a Voice, Identity” and “Rapping About Land and Identity” (Palestinians). Don’t forget the Somalis. And “The Rap Songs of Arab Spring.”  If “All Things Considered” can’t kill hip hop, I guess nothing can.
