Sociologist Tricia Rose on hip-hop as a global profit powerhouse: It’s hard when you try to talk across racial groups about race, right? And not to soft pedal, to hold people accountable for a choice to be so ignorant. In that moment of exchange lies the possibility that they will actually get somewhere. I do believe that there's a, a better chance of them getting further, if we can create spaces of both accountability and connection.  Tricia Rose is a pioneering scholar in the field of hip-hop, Chancellor's Professor of Africana Studies at Brown University, co-host with Cornel West of “The Tight Rope” podcast, and Director of the Center for the Study of Race and Ethnicity in America.  In this episode, Rose discusses how she balances her love of the early days of hip-hop with the global profit powerhouse it has become, the beauty of chaos, and how essential it is to build safe, stable communities at a time when everything is being done to isolate and separate.   References: Fannie Lou
