Relations between the US and Pakistan are going through a fairly difficult period.

American lawmakers have questioned the sincerity of their ally and Pakistanis express anger over the use of drone strikes.

Now the US State Department is launching a new cultural initiative to try to win over young Pakistanis.

hip hop alone wont solve anything; not even the finest verses from Frank Sinatra could. . .

mutual trust, respect, heeding to eachother's concerns and PARTNERSHIP can improve the bilateral relations....these are 2-way things. Not 1-way things.

Yea! they want us to start worshipping their Ati-Christ/Dajjal. That might solve their problem with us....

US hip-hop group briefly detained in Rawalpindi: embassy | Pakistan | DAWN.COM

ISLAMABAD: Pakistani security officials on Wednesday briefly detained a visiting US hip-hop troupe, accusing a performer of taking sensitive photographs in the garrison city of Rawalpindi, the embassy said.

The six members of FEW Collective, a US officer, Pakistani staff from the embassy and Pakistani musicians were detained for around an hour on a military base in the garrison city of Rawalpindi, a spokesman told AFP.

The Chicago-based group is in Pakistan at the invitation of the US embassy and performed a concert Tuesday as part of a cultural exchange programme in a country fraught with anti-Americanism.

“While one of the performers may have taken a photograph while travelling in an embassy vehicle on a public road, no sensitive installations were visible from the vehicle,” said the US embassy.

“The performer was not aware of restrictions placed on photography in or near the cantonment, and had no intention of taking photographs of sensitive Pakistani government or military installations,” it added.

Pakistani military officials were not immediately reachable for comment.

Good luck with that. In my view...hip-hop = r.a.p = Retarded Attempt at Poetry.

Agree with you, bro. The way to counter it is by embracing Chinese culture, e.g. instead of hip-hop, import Chinese Martial Arts!
