Hip-hop music originated as a form of musical expression meant to empower and educate its listeners. As the culture grew and diversified, it took many different paths. But, like most forms of art, the music genre is making a strong comeback to its roots. Many believe the foundation of hip-hop has died. Well, there is no better place than New Orleans to revive the true essence of hip-hop.
