[NOBLE]

A friend of mine asked my opinion on this a few days ago, and it's been on my mind ever since:
Why has Hip Hop been silent about what's going on in Palestine?
We can't say Hip Hop doesn't do politics. Hip Hop has been political since the days of "The Message" and Public Enemy. In more recent times, we heard from a lot of rappers during the BLM protests. I'm talking mainly about mainstream North American Hip Hop. If there are any underground or overseas artists who have made songs (not social media posts) about this, please let me know. But what are your thoughts on it? Should Hip Hop, a genre that has styled itself as the voice of the disenfranchised, say something about what's going on? Does the silence mean Hip Hop has changed?
