Episode: Why Hip Hop Never Had a #MeToo Movement

The book was referenced when discussing the alleged physical attack by Dr. Dre on Dee Barnes. Garrett Kennedy had a lot to say about this incident, expressing how unconscionable it was, and the fact that a long time has passed since then, yet the conversation hasn't really changed.

"

She survived a really terrible physical attack from Dr. Dre. This is not a moment where we need to have a conversation and say a legit and this is he has admitted he did what his legal obligations were at the time, but the reality is the attack was then announced so unconscionable that I part of why it will always come up is because for so long there did not feel like there was a tone man.

This is the conversation that we've been having in so many different types of ways for so many years and yes we've had these moments where we actually can see a shift but like it will never sit well with me that it quite literally took 25 years.

Instead of trying to deem this moment as the start of some hopeful shift in the industry, we really as a culture should be doing something else.

I think we owe it to ourselves to sit in it because of the years of inaction because of the fact that this is a genre of music and it's a hard portal swallow but this is a genre of music that's literally built off the debatement of women.
