Here's a link to Hip-Hop issues on Cynthia McKinney's campaign website.

Hip-Hop is mainstream enough that a Congressional Candidate has set aside an issues page for discussion of "Hip-Hop" issues.

"Cynthia McKinney is a strong advocate, mentor and supporter of the Hip-Hop community. Her unique popularity among the members of the Hip-Hop generation and young people across the United States of America has made her a trusted voice on behalf of producers, retailers and consumers of Hip-Hop entertainment.

Cynthia McKinney believes that the Hip-Hop community has the potential to evolve into one of the strongest movements on behalf of social justice and community development. Cynthia McKinney has fully endorsed the Hip-Hop Summit Action Network's (HSAN) 15-point national agenda."
