In 1991, the death of 15-year-old Los Angeles local LaTasha Harlins, at the hands of Oriental shop worker Quickly Ja Du, triggered an outcry. In LA, African-Americans lashed out over their inadequate treatment they received while buying from Korean-owned shops in prominently Black areas. Their temper and also views would certainly be transported later that year by rap artist Ice on his track "Black Korea," from his sophomore solo album Death Certificate. The song, which included lyrics regarding looting Korean-owned shops and also creating physical injury to their workers, was vehemently opposed by members of the Korean-American neighborhood, that spoke out versus Dice's unsupported claims. Nonetheless, the lyrics would remain uncensored or edited, gaining its area in the pantheon of sociopolitical demonstration songs. Freedom of speech has actually been a right that rap musicians have actually been fighting for as long hip-hop has actually been about.
