The Evolution Theory... (country, hip-hop, albums, the roots, American)

I was thinking, It's funny how music has evolved from the 70's where the music was about standing for a cause and how music found an independence in the current cultural climate. Then, in the 80's how Hip-hop was formulated through domestic injustices for rights amongst struggling minorities. As real fans of music, I think we all appreciate the roots from where music was created. In today's climate, music has evolved. Feels like after Obama was elected, music has taken on a whole new dimension that has gone back to it's roots and represents the current state of our culture. Artists that stand behind a cause, that use their platform to affect change have started popping up all over the place, it seems. New artists like, K'naan or DeLon are starting to reshape the face of music.
