A while back, a young conservative wrote in the National Review questioning whether hip hop should be used for cultural diplomacy. I found his criticism to be shortsighted and culturally relativistic. Later, Alternet had another piece calling the use of hip hop as cultural diplomacy to be hypocrisy.
Fast forward a few months, and there are a few articles pushing back and pointing out the positive side of hiplomacy, the use of hip hop as cultural diplomacy.
-The Root offers an eloquent defense of hip hop diplomacy with some context of cultural diplomacy, with a look at the Jazz Ambassadors and concludes that Hip Hop is a logical progression for cultural diplomacy.
-HipHopDX has the first of a four-part series on Hip Hop Diplomacy.

I considered the same pun, but refrained.
