• Who does hip-hop belong to?
• Are white artists who prosper in hip-hop robbing from black musicians? Or is music fair game for all true fans?
• Is the history of white privilege — think of Elvis Presley and the birth of rock ’n’ roll in the 1950s — continuing with Macklemore’s Grammy Award for best rap album?
• Should Macklemore be apologizing? Is his apology sincere? Is it appropriate?
• Can rap music ever transcend race and class? Or is it too indelibly tied to black urban culture?
