Amy Coddington is a professor of music at Amherst College and author of "How Hip Hop Became Hit Pop." We delve into the complexities of radio politics, the evolution of hip hop, and its complex journey towards mainstream acceptance. Amy exposes the biases, challenges, and commercial dynamics of radio, and offers an academia-backed perspective on the forces that shaped how hip hop and rap influence America.
