Hip-Hop is centered in youth culture and cuts across several post Baby Boom generations. These younger generations, especially millennials can’t boast much about political victories via electoral politics, so they have become increasing critical and outspoken of presidential politics as we see when it comes to police brutality, inflation, war, student loan debt, foreign policy, and more. “We feel this is the perfect time to discuss how hip-hop has influenced presidential politics and to ask what we can expect from the culture in this upcoming election season,” detailed Jesse Washington,  senior writer at Andscape and writer, director, and executive producer of Hip-Hop and the White House.

Sublime restaurant rises again in downtown Oceanside

In doing so, it demonstrated hip-hop's staying power and allowed a collective looking back at hip-hop's many accomplishments. Hip-hop journalism and hip-hop electoral politics engagement are two significant areas that have too long remained underdiscussed. This very comprehensive documentary pushes the nation to look more deeply at what hip-hop has meant in the political arena. Keith and Ronna feel incredibly blessed that the community and loyal customers supported all three of our shops during the pandemic.

BrewDog, a Scottish brewery that often invests in independent beer operations, invested in the company through a development fund. Hunter, who was born in Inglewood, wanted to return to the city and bring a business for Black and brown beer lovers, one that could provide inspiration to others that the same pathways to entrepreneurship are open to them too. What’s more, Hunter and Ashburn say, beer is often tied to gentrification — white gentrification, which has prompted discussions on how they could build a new facility without driving up costs and while preserving the neighborhood’s culture. There’s room to grow, but even though the city is home to vacant commercial properties ripe for breweries, the cost is often prohibitive — all over Southern California — for large and resource-heavy businesses, and rents are high. The project was announced last month as part of &360, a new documentary anthology from Andscape,  intended to explore the influence of Black culture on American society.

‘Rivers in the sky’ have drenched California, yet even more extreme rains are possible

Negotiations between protesters and Columbia University officials about clearing the encampment on its lawn that had been extended for 48 hours have been “unstable," said Esha Karam, managing director of Columbia Daily Spectator, citing student organizers. The university closed its campus Wednesday evening as LAPD began arresting demonstrators. “A lot of times when people think about Southern California, they think of the cities. Crowns & Hops is set to be available, at least by the can, in the new SoFi Stadium, and the entrepreneurs are aiming for their brewery space to be located nearby — as well as open in time for the Super Bowl to be held at the stadium on Feb. 13, 2022. The closures come just days before the City of Charleston and Kanawha County Commission are set to begin a demolition project at the former Macy’s anchor store at Town Center to make way for the planned Capital Sports Center project.

The Los Angeles Police Department said 93 people were arrested on suspicion of trespassing during Wednesday's demonstrations at the University of Southern California. You may occasionally receive promotional content from the San Diego Union-Tribune. We’re not where we should be, he says, but it’s important to celebrate the victories.

On Monday, April 22, the HULU documentary, “Hip-Hop and the White House,” premieres with Kitwana as an expert. It examines the relationship between what Kitwana says is the most powerful American cultural movement of the past 50 years and the most powerful position on the planet – the president of the United States. According to a 2019 Brewers Assn. survey, 88% of craft brewery owners are white; in contrast, Black brewery owners make up only 1% in the study’s findings.

For years, the network made a great show of keeping politics out of its journalism, cracking down on select personalities who crossed the line off air. But with changing times has come new management that appears to be perfectly fine giving itself over to political fodder, and no view would appear to be too extreme. In a world where top personality Stephen A Smith goes on Hannity to say Black Americans could relate to Donald Trump “being discriminated against”, a straight political documentary from the self-styled worldwide leader in sports isn’t as far-fetched an idea as it would’ve been even four years ago. Before Bill Clinton played the sax on Arsenio, Eazy-E popped up at a $1,250-a-plate members’ only luncheon for George HW Bush after condemning law and order on NWA’s Fuck Tha Police and grabbed headlines. Soon thereafter the political ruling class realized that hip-hop was a useful tool, one that could be used to scare up white votes, through formal protest and policies targeting explicit artists and lyrics and firebrand activists like Sister Soulja, and stir up the scores of young voters who connected with the music. There was more in the doc about hip-hop rallying the youth voter via P Diddy’s popular Vote or Die mass-registration campaign, but recent events would force the production team to reduce the hip-hop impresario to a passing figure in this history.

There is a long history of hip-hop artists interfacing with the White House that goes back to President George Bush, Sr. and continues pretty much during every presidential administration since. Really, they just want everyone to feel welcome — especially in the craft beer world, where ownership and consumers are predominantly white. By the time the brand-turned-brewery opens its long-awaited facilities and taproom in Inglewood, founders Beny Ashburn and Teo Hunter will have partnered with dozens of Black-owned brewers and artists and musicians and designers, simultaneously repping and creating community. Located in Midtown Raleigh, House of Hops at Midtown is a local craft beer shop specializing in variety. With over 250 package beers and a constantly revolving 24 tap list featuring the greatest our region has to offer, you’re sure to discover something you love! If you need any guidance, our friendly team is here to answer all your questions (and occasionally feed treats to your pups).

Currently, Crowns & Hops has more than 20 beer recipes, according to Hunter, who likens the development process to a kind of grain-and-hops Rubik’s Cube. Ideally, the brewery will launch with a mix of these beers, a portfolio with a pilsner, a lager, stouts, stouts with adjuncts, IPAs and hazy IPAs. Because so many members of the community have told Ashburn and Hunter they’ve discovered craft beer through the brand or its events, the duo want to offer a range of styles for people who might be new to exploring craft beer. Hip-hop has been enjoying its moment for decades as the dominant selling music in the U.S. But even beyond sales, the music also has influenced the format of other musical genres. One of the great things about the 50th anniversary was that it showcased the pioneering artists to an emerging hip-hop audience.

But it's a long history that continues to evolve and requires someone familiar with that history and its nuances to ensure that what is at stake is carefully articulated. Kitwana came to UB as part of the Distinguished Visiting Scholars program in the College of Arts and Sciences. Each year, the program brings a cohort of highly accomplished scholars and artists whose work elucidates social inequality and advances social justice to the university and Buffalo community. He was previously editor-in-chief of The Source magazine and the editorial director of Third World Press. His essays and commentary have appeared in The New York Times, Village Voice, The Los Angeles Times, Newsday and more.

It’s not unprecedented to see an artist roll up to the fest with brand-new material. Kendrick Lamar dropped “Damn.” two days before his first Coachella headlining stint in 2017. Campus police announced earlier that anyone who stayed in the area would be subject to criminal trespass laws. The Los Angeles Police Department arrested approximately 50 protestors at the University of Southern California after campus police gave a dispersal order to demonstrators, according to a CNN crew at the scene.

The board said it is "urgently working" with Shafik to resolve the unrest on campus and "rebuild the bonds of our community." The Columbia University Board of Trustees released a statement Wednesday saying they strongly support President Minouche Shafik, who has faced calls for her resignation amid intense pressure to rein in days-long protests. Work and classes will remain remote, and officials are considering keeping the campus closed for longer. At one point during the demonstrations, tensions escalated as protesters refused to relocate and remove their tents and other prohibited items, a university official said. "The university is a private campus and the group had been violating some of their orders. It was a trespass at that point and we assisted with the arrests," Los Angeles Police Captain Kelly Muniz said during a briefing.

As a scholar and hip-hop expert, I do this work because it's important to provide clarity to where and how hip-hop enters these crucial discussions. There is a long history of hip-hop being misinterpreted and distorted as the problem and as a vehicle for demonizing young people. The impact that hip-hop as a cultural force plays in the lives of young people and within the American electorate should not be minimized.
