Exploring Obama's impact on hip-hop, pt. 2

Today, we defer to music critic, Jonah Weiner, and his excellent set up of questions we've all been grappling with:

• What will Obama mean to hip-hop?
• Will the moment and man usher in an era of enlightenment? More bohemian, thoughtful output?
• Won't pundits like Tim Graham use the occasion as a precedent with which to attack the culture?
• How will Obama's empowerment not make hip-hop suck?

Important points to consider and monitor during the coming months.
We'll do a progress report in exactly six months, in late August. Stay tuned.
