Rap, hip hop and traditional music, alongside other genres, played a big role in encouraging dissent against Gaddafi's government. Music has been controlled and dissenting cultural figures have been arrested or tortured in Arab Spring countries, including Libya.[130] Music provided an important platform for communication among demonstrators. It helped to create moral support and encouraged a spirit of revolt against the governments.

and who supports these protests as if they were a parade?

Yeah music has been used in this crap elsewhere too, it makes for a really bad look, but gotta remember that many artists are wise to the shit and trying to help.

Been trying to figure out the corrupt from the helpers and have felt pretty good about it so far :P

I still even trust Eminem lol.

Very important though, to look at who's behind the music/artists which aided in conflating the issue with Libya... follow the money, etc.
