Letter to Mr. McBride Dear Mr. McBride, I have read your essay “Hip Hop Planet,” and the subject of this article is about teens being taken over by hip hop music. I understood the occasion because you had a nightmare when your daughter brought home a thug/rapper. A lot of your life you tried and ignored hip hop. Hip hop has spread out through all around the world. In 26 years you have come to embrace this style of music. I believe you wrote this article because you are worried about the influence it would have on our future civilization and I believe the intended audience was us young adults. Mr. McBride I agree with your argument that this world is becoming a hip hop planet. When you explain how “after 26 years you have come to embrace hip hop music,” it makes me wonder how much you actually tried to ignore it. With all due respect, I wonder what you mean when you say, “American music exploded across the world with such overwhelming force.” When you say at its best hip hop lays bare the empty moral cupboard, you claim that hip hop is our generation’s legacy, but I think hip hop should express a person’s legacy in his or her own way. Though I see your perspective, I believe hip hop is a way of any person to tell their legacy in their own way.
Sincerely, Sun Chopra
