receive royalty payments and Jungle producers now had to get copyright clearance, which made creating and producing the music more challenging. Furthermore Wookie said when describing Drum N Bass it has “More that rave-y kind of vibe, it went back into the university crowds – predominantly white. Drum N Bass is a predominantly a white scene, where as jungle was a predominantly black scene”. Wookie then states, “that in essence, there is no difference between Drum N Bass and Jungle, but with no longer using that reggae sampling I think it lost its Caribbean influence” (Bradley, 2013, p360)
This can generally be said to be the case within dance music every few years as genres change and mutate, the once “Hip” loses that authenticity of being a sub culture, which with it brings a togetherness, a sense of anti establishment (Thornton, 2001 pp3). Genres have come and gone, where they have their time in the lime light of public appreciation then tend to move back “Underground” whilst the next sound takes over, this is a natural progression of popular music

David Langford is a 30-year-old mature Student who has been going out clubbing for the past 15 years. When I asked David about his first awareness of Breakbeat as a genre he said “in around 2000 when Stanton Sessions was dropped” which is a mix CD show casing Breakbeat music mixed by the Stanton Warriors. Langford then goes on to say that “Breakbeat isn’t currently in a good shape”. He said that “the particular high points for him in the Breakbeat scene were around 2000 and then again in around 2005/2006”, which coincides with the Breakbeat, boom of the mid 00s. Langford also interestingly points out that the Drum N bass crowds since its inception plus in contrast to Breakbeat always attracted a younger crowd and more female
Motown paved the way for future artists to explore themselves. It helped created the grounds of a great music and cultural integration in the 1970’s to now and hopefully forever. Hip Hop’s arrival was credit to Motown triumphs in the musical world. Through the mixing of percussion and the rhythm of the drumbeats of funk and disco, hip hop revealed the opposition to social inequality and discrimination
On the article “On a Date Rape” by Camille Paglia, creates a controversy discussion about how women have reached freedom throughout the years and blames young feminist for being “over privileged”. Her belief is that women in general misuse the social freedom she so virtuously fought for. She also mentioned that her generation was aware of the risk that they were taking, while today’s generation does not. However, she blames any young lady who finds herself into a perilous situation for the tragedy that follows; moreover, Paglia’s article is unreliable due to the abuse of several fallacies such as hasty generalization, false analogy, false cause, poising well, false dilemma, slippery slope, as well as straw men.
Since the early to mid 90’s, hip-hop has undergone changes that purists would consider degenerating to its culture. At the root of these changes is what has been called “commercial hip-hop". Commercial hip-hop has deteriorated what so many emcees in the 80’s tried to build- a culture of music, dance, creativity, and artistry that would give people not only something to bob their head to, but also an avenue to express themselves and deliver a positive message to their surroundings.
Despite having absolutely nothing to do with the four elements of Hip-Hop as defined by Afrika Bambaataa, the most influential person in the creati...
Hip hop culture is known for its negative reputation. It is often thought as an entrance way into gangs, illegal drug activity, and malicious behavior. In today’s culture it is important to lead kids toward a positive direction in life but the hip hop culture of today is not steering youth in that direction. This is because hip-hop has moved away from what it was supposed to be used for. This genre of music was supposed to be used to for personal expression and growth not to create negative images for the youth and encourage them to change their behaviors and beliefs. Hip hop was supposed to give hope to the youth. Give them a reason to pursue their dreams and give them a positive outlook on life. Are there artists who keep it “old school?” Yes there is, but it is never heard on mainstream radio. Hip hop culture has the potential to help the youth follow their dreams and become better people. It just needs to go back to its roots and bring those morals back up again.
Hip hop music has gone through many changes since the 1980’s and continues to change today with new artists, styles, and sounds. Over the past forty years hip hop music has been a way for fans to relate to artist through their songs because many hip hop artist lived and experience the same things that their fans did. Hip hop has changed over the years because of changes and improvement of the average American. Hip hop music reflects on the current situation in American life and over the past forty years hip hop changes with the current times and views of hip hop fans in America. The improvement of more Americans since the 1980’s has help grow the access to hip hop music as well as the popularity of hip hop music and artists.
“No,” isn’t a line of defense when it comes to marital rape. In our society marital rape is not considered a huge issue because your body belongs to who you marry. Rape is defined as being forced into enduring sexual actions without consent. As for marital rape, it is being forced into having sex with who the victim is married to. Raping a stranger is considered unlawful but as for raping a marital partner, it is technically okay according to the law and the bible. Only 27% of victims who are raped do not know their attackers in anyway. This means that 73% of the victims knew their attacker, and 28% of them were raped by their marital partner (RAINN). With these kind of statistics, it creates several discussions throughout the years with the topic of marital rape. The talk of how the legal system doesn’t defend victims as well as they should and how it displays an extreme example of sexism not only in todays world but also hundreds of years ago. Even the holy Bible does not condemn against marital rape. Sense marital rape is not frowned upon as much as other types of rape, it becomes known as an unacknowledged crime.
Music is something most people can’t live without; whether it’s to help them get over a sad breakup, a hard time or even having a great time with friends. There’s a lot of different types of music; some people like pop, some like rock, some enjoy jazz for some people it may even be Hip Hop. It wouldn’t make sense to older generations to why teenagers on a “Hip Hop Planet” To the younger generations it makes perfect sense. In the Article, “Hip Hop Planet” written by James Mcbride a New York Times journalist and composer argues that Hip Hop is here to stay so might as well accept it. Something that everyone can agree with is that Hip Hop’s popularity has been taken to a global scale. It has become nearly impossible to avoid
What is rap music? How who rap music created? Rap music is a person can rap too the beat of a song. Rap music wasn’t created by one person, it is collection people that made this genre of music. The rap industry isn’t just a genre of music it has its own, culture. Rap music has its own lingo, and style of dress. This goes for every generation of rap including the 1970s through late 2000s. The hip hop culture didn’t just reach African American people this reached people all over the world. Rap music has become a phenomenon that people of all races can relate to the style of music.
Throughout the semester, various styles of music and the aspects of culture associated with these styles have been analyzed. Musical elements such as dynamics, texture, form, timbre, melody, instruments, etc., have been used to thoroughly explore each kind of music from different areas of the world, with an emphasis in music from Africa, India and Indonesia. These aspects of music go far beyond just music itself. Culture also plays a huge role in music and the accompanying musical elements. Each country and culture has a different style and distinctiveness that add to what makes the music of that certain culture unique. Music in Africa may differ dramatically from music in Indonesia or India not only due to those certain elements but also due to how it is interpreted by people and what it represents for those people. In addition to this, what one may consider music in one culture may not be music to another. These differences have been made apparent in the several demonstrations that we have been exposed to in class.
In this essay I intend to explore what is meant by the terms popular culture and high culture. I will also look at how the relationship between these two terms has become distorted and blurred over time. In order to reinforce what I am saying about popular and high culture I will be using a range of examples from the music industry to show how the line between high culture and popular culture has become ambiguous. I will also call upon the work of John Storey to give my work an academic foundation. Although Storey is the main academic I will be looking at, I will also include references to a number of other academics who have written about popular culture and high culture.
Hip hop, however, has transformed into mainstream culture, therefore losing itself. "Black culture, which has a long tradition of struggling against (and at the same time, working in close collaboration with) the dominant white culture, has rounded the corner of the 21st century with what looks in one sense like an unequivocal victory. Young America now embraces hip-hop as the signal pop-music genre of its time. So why does that victory feel strange: not exactly hollow, but a little haunted?" (“When the People Cheer”). As hip hop itself has begun to change so has the form of dance. Hip hop dance now has a mixture of what the Flex kings do in their videos and dances such as the popular dance “N...
