The influence of hip-hop on American culture is undeniable, but can hip-hop help curb inner-city crime and build trust among African-Americans and the police? Paul Butler thinks so.

Butler is the author of Let’s Get Free: A Hip-Hop Theory of Justice and a professor of law at George Washington University.

During this discussion, Butler makes a very profound statement about incarcerated African-Americans. There are more African-Americans in prison now than there were slaves in 1850.

What role do you think Hip-Hop can play in reducing crime and violence in African-American communities?

WATCH: Roland Martin and Paul Butler discuss Hip-Hop, inner-city crime and justice.

    Hip hop has a power that is literally beyond boundaries, but once the powers that be start throwing in more money, jewelry and shameless women and fellas, then it’s back in your cage where you belong.. Remember in the late 80′s when Public Enemy along with other groups had everyone who listened to hip hop thinking consciously, uniting and coming together?? They were stopped dead in their tracks when more money and better deals came into the equation.. Gangster rap was the new and negative vehicle that had shock value. And everyone knows that America prefer to hear and see negativity, regardless of what they may say.. To make a long story short negativity, violence and sex sells.. And as such, there will always be someone trying to gain and someone pulling the damn strangs… In other words, “Shut the phuck up and do what it takes to sell these units before I replace your in the closet azz, bytch”.. Hip hop nowadays don’t have the heart it takes to pass up the money..
