Happy BDAY Hip Hop: IS VorD Dead?

The musical genre called hip hop has influenced every part of life from music, to fashion, to education and academics, to POLITICS. Many rap lyrics have received both praise and reproach within the political realm and as society changes, hip hop lyrics manifest themselves through each change.

*Side Note:
The VOTE or DIE was a campaign originally announced by P. Diddy in September 2004 when he vowed to make voting "sexy" through a non-profit called Citizen Change. Where is this initiative now? The most current article we can find says the idea is DEAD?
