In 1991, the fatality of 15-year-old Los Angeles resident LaTasha Harlins, by Oriental shop staff member Quickly Ja Du, triggered an outcry. In LA, African-Americans snapped over their poor treatment they obtained while patronizing Korean-owned stores in plainly Black areas. Their rage as well as views would certainly be carried later that year by rapper Ice on his tune "Black Korea," from his sophomore solo album Fatality Certificate. The song, that included verses regarding robbery Korean-owned shops as well as creating bodily injury to their staff members, was vehemently opposed by members of the Korean-American area, that spoke up versus Cube's rhetoric. However, the verses would certainly remain uncensored or modified, gaining its location in the pantheon of sociopolitical demonstration songs. Freedom of speech has actually been a right that rap artists have been defending as lengthy hip-hop has been about.
