The phrase on the Armenian Genocide promoted in the song by Derek
Barbosa, who is known as the rapper Chino XL, appears in the top five
of the week in the U.S. charts, occupying the third place. The
American rapper wrote the following phrase `Got a love for hip-hop
that could never be lost/Even if it ignores me like the media ignored
slavery and Armenian holocaust’ in his song Eye (Stomp), TheGrio.com
reports. `We especially appreciated the note of the early twentieth
century Armenian genocide, a terrible and not-officially-acknowledged
incident that the U.S. power structure only ever sees fit to bring up
when it’s trying to score political points against Turkey,’
TheGrio.com claimed.
