ALLHIPHOP.com founder Chuck 'Jigsaw' Creekmur took a candid look at yesterday's State of The Union address and how Hip-Hop was involved, bringing light to the fact that Hip-Hop got a 'shout out' from Obama in the speech when Obama said 'We do big things', he also highlighted the fact that as a community, Hip-Hop had mixed feelings about Obama's speech some for it, some against, while some showed no interest at all. Chuck also digs deeper into the everyday problems of poverty, the need for financial literacy and entrepreneurship along with the ideal and growth of strong communities. His piece embodies the blue print for a generation full of questions and frustration to get engaged with the political process. Check out Chuck's full perspective on ALLHIPHOP.com
