In 1991, the fatality of 15-year-old Los Angeles local LaTasha Harlins, by Oriental shop employee Soon Ja Du, created an uproar. In LA, African-Americans snapped over their poor treatment they received while buying from Korean-owned shops in prominently Black areas. Their temper and also sentiments would certainly be channeled later that year by rap artist Ice on his track "Black Korea," from his student solo album Death Certificate. The tune, which included verses concerning looting Korean-owned shops as well as triggering bodily injury to their employees, was emphatically opposed by participants of the Korean-American neighborhood, that spoke out versus Dice's rhetoric. Nonetheless, the lyrics would stay uncensored or edited, gaining its location in the pantheon of sociopolitical demonstration music. Freedom of expression has been a right that rap artists have been defending as lengthy hip-hop has actually been around.
