A letter has surfaced claimed to be written by a former music executive who says he witnessed a secret meeting in 1991 where the prison industrial complex encouraged the music industry to promote rap artists who glorify crime with the goal of encouraging listeners to get locked up in prison, so the private prisons could make more money. Its a very interesting read, but unless others come forward and confirm his story, there is no way to verify whether or not this meeting took place. I do believe that such a plan was put in motion, but whether or not this man was a part of that plan is not conformed. This letter first surfaced on HipHopisRead after the admin claims he received it in his email anonymously on April 24, 2012. Here is a link to the entire text of the letter: markdice/index.php?opt...
