This utopian vision is extremely hard to illustrate because we live in a society where utopia is not accepted. The reality of hip hop is the nature of urban life, not the dreams of utopia. I found this topic of utopia to be very intriguing and agreed with Kelley on how it is virtually impossible to transmit a utopian idea in society today. Wanting to get away from urban space challenges the common image we see in hip hop. I never knew how much hip hoppers want to get out of the urban lives they lead.
