In 1991, the death of 15-year-old Los Angeles homeowner LaTasha Harlins, through Korean store staff member Soon Ja Du, created an outcry. In LA, African-Americans lashed out over their inadequate treatment they received while buying Korean-owned shops in plainly Black communities. Their anger as well as sentiments would certainly be directed later that year by rapper Ice Cube on his track "Black Korea," from his sophomore solo cd Fatality Certificate. The tune, that included lyrics about looting Korean-owned stores and also causing bodily injury to their staff members, was emphatically opposed by members of the Korean-American community, that spoke up versus Dice's rhetoric. Nevertheless, the lyrics would certainly stay uncensored or edited, earning its location in the pantheon of sociopolitical objection music. Free speech has been a right that rap musicians have actually been fighting for as long hip-hop has actually been about.
