Music is a cornerstone of black culture. RB is a descendant of the Negro spiritual. Hip hop is the voice of black and brown youth. Both genres come from great struggle. Theyre voices for the disenfranchised, the exploited, the abused, and murdered. RB and hip hop have become worldwide influences for all cultures and people. This, of course, includes the people of South Korea. Many singers, rappers, producers, songwriters, and composers gain inspiration from these genres and as a result profit from black culture and black fans.
