Jared Ball s I Mix What I Like!: A Mixtape Manifesto properly places Black America as a colonized people within a nation, and therefore recognizes a colonized hip-hop nation within this colony. Ball identifies the process of cooptation of culture as well as saturation of a fabricated culture as key to the continued process of colonization. Ball argues that hip-hop culture and shows like Love & Hip-Hop serve as little more than propaganda vaguely reminiscent of the culture of the oppressed, yet processed and repackaged with a colonial agenda.
