This week on The Message, we're going to the museum, and our first stop will be the Center for Empathy and Visual Arts at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, where we'll learn about songs that make us feel some type of way. Then we're gonna head over to the National Museum of African American History and Culture in D.C. to highlight artists who have perfected the call-and-response technique that is so prevalent in hip hop music. So pull up and be sure to pack a lunch, because we going the museum this week on The Message.
