Regina Bradley (hip-hop scholar, Atlanta): "It's not real, folks. It was propaganda that folks just took literally. I'm not saying that there aren't direct connections between the prison industrial complex and media. That's not what I'm saying. That actual letter though was almost like a catchall .... I just feel like it was used to amp folks up and add to the paranoia and anxiety around hip hop culture and the transition in directions that it was going."
"it wasnt real. sure, all the connections and actions are real, but rap good so it's not real"
