Rev. Run speaks about race in Hip Hop at Syracuse University
Rev. Run, spoke last night at Syracuse University in a forum about race, religion and Hip Hop. He was joined by fellow panelists Hasan Stephens (aka Maestro) and Don Sawyer, III.
As an elder statesman in the culture, Run said his job was certainly not to criticize new voices in the genre. He pointed out that artists, like people, evolve and grow.
Hasan Stephens (aka Maestro) dialogues with Rev. Run about radio programming’s influence on popular taste during the forum.
Here is a sample of Run talking about his transition from Run to Rev and how he can’t be one without the other.
