Remy Ma Breaks Down Voter Suppression & The Importance Of This Election (Video)
BY PAUL MEARA • OCTOBER 30, 2018
Midterm Election Day is less than one week away, and as always, Hip-Hop is assuming a big role in trying to get people to the polls. Whether it’s in the music or conversations outside of the studio, issues surrounding racial injustice, economic imbalance, gender discrimination and more often find the culture as one of their few megaphones.
During the most recent State Of The Culture episode, Joe Budden, Scottie Beam, Jynx, and Remy Ma discussed the importance of participating in November 4’s midterm elections. It was perhaps Remy though that gave the most impassioned argument surrounding voter suppression and the importance of voting against those trying to disenfranchise people away from casting their ballot (conversation begins at around the 24:00-mark).
