Ralph Ellison only hoped we'd translate black vernacular in such a way as to gain entry into the hallowed house of art.
How could he know that Ralph Lauren would one day broker that vernacular's marketing prowess into a worldwide
licensing deal for bed sheets writ large with Jay-Z's John Hancock? Where Hip Hop was once a buyer's market in which
the audience decided what was street legit, it has now become a seller's market, in which what gets sold as hip hop is
whatever the boardroom approves. This panel explores the life and breath of Hip Hop.
