Upward income mobility has decreased to such a point that the United States appears to have the highest rate of income inequality in the industrialized world, according to the non-partisan Congressional Research Service. “Where one starts in the U.S. income distribution greatly influences where one ends up,” the report states, emphasizing that empirical data suggests the U.S. is not a nation where the poorest can feasibly lift themselves up by their bootstraps. If income were equally divided across households, each quintile (or fifth) of households would account for 20 percent of total income.

Renowned music publication Rolling Stone has named Grandmaster Flash ‘s iconic “The Message” anthem as hip-hop’s greatest song ever followed by a slew of notable classics. Rolling Stone made its declaration early Wednesday (December 5) and cited the song’s focus on inner-city life for motivating the decision. The 1982 hit “The Message” by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five was named the greatest hip hop song of all time on Wednesday, in the first such list by Rolling Stone magazine to celebrate the young but influential music genre. “The Message,” which tops a list of 50 influential hip hop songs, was the first track “to tell, with hip hop’s rhythmic and vocal force, the truth about modern inner-city life in America,” Rolling Stone said. Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, a hip hop collective from the south Bronx in New York, was formed in 1978 and became one of the pioneers of the hip hop genre.
