Hip-Hop's first female MC and Rock The Bells radio host, MC Sha-Rock, recently shared her thoughts on the importance of corporations giving back to Hip-Hop.

"I would like for all corporations around the world who have benefited monetarily from the the foundational elements of Hip-Hop culture to give back to its founding members as well as provide safe places and programs that will uplift the youths in underprivileged communities,” she told AllHipHop.com. “The culture of Hip-Hop and its core elements has saved me and others from going down the wrong path. It was and still remains as an outlet for many of us in cities, states and countries. Hip-Hop culture has brought us together globally, unlike any genre of music and culture. Peace, unity and fun is what it was built on. Respect to all.”

In an Instagram post, Sha-Rock, who was recently featured on an episode of Rock The Bells' series Flowers, also requested a meeting "with all of the senators, congressmen and all other representatives who use #HipHopCultur eas their footnote."

"The culture of Hip Hop was built on peace unity and fun, which became a global phenomenon. I’m requesting to have a meeting with all of the senators, congressmen and all other representatives who uses#HipHopCultureas their footnote," she wrote on IG. "And to all, who says that they respect the contributions of the founding members of this billion dollar business we call#HipHop. Not only are my concerns for all who have contributed to the Culture of Hip Hop and it’s core elements, but to all of you whom have contributed throughout the years by way of your voices, that have echoed throughout the 50th years that were and are still rocking on the radio. Something has got to change. If I, we or all don’t stand for something, we’ll continue to fall for anything. The culture of Hip Hop is not for sale, it was always inclusive. Everyone have always been invited to have a seat at the table. No one should be left behind. If money can trickle down to other facets of areas throughout the world, then we would like to see where it has trickle back into our communities."
