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 Stevens (aka Maestro) dialogues with Rev. Run about radio programmings influence on popular taste during the forum.
