From Henry Adaso, your Guide to Rap / Hip-Hop

The world lost an icon today. Maya Angelou left us at the age 86. Angelou inspired everyone, even those she disagreed with -- even rappers. Especially rappers. Let's look back at Maya Angelou's influence on hip-hop, including her collaboration with Common and the best Angelou references in hip-hop lyrics.

On a side note, this weekend is the last time you'll be able to access my hip-hop blog at About. The change is necessary and you'll see why in the coming weeks and months. You can always stop by the About Rap Facebook page for hip-hop debates, news, memes and allathat. Or just say "hi" on Twitter.
