  • Hip-Hop as a Cultural Movement

    1580 Words  | 4 Pages

    Hip-Hop is a cultural movement that emerged from the dilapidated South Bronx, New York in the early 1970’s. The area’s mostly African American and Puerto Rican residents originated this uniquely American musical genre and culture that over the past four decades has developed into a global sensation impacting the formation of youth culture around the world. The South Bronx was a whirlpool of political, social, and economic upheaval in the years leading up to the inception of Hip-Hop. The early part of the 1970’s found many African American and Hispanic communities desperately seeking relief from the poverty, drug, and crime epidemics engulfing the gang dominated neighborhoods. Hip-Hop proved to be successful as both a creative outlet for expressing the struggles of life amidst the prevailing crime and violence as well as an enjoyable and cheap form of recreation.

  • Hip Hop's Effect on American Culture

    3349 Words  | 7 Pages

    Hip hop has permeated popular culture in an unprecedented fashion. Because of its crossover appeal, it is a great unifier of diverse populations. Although created by black youth on the streets, hip hop's influence has become well received by a number of different races in this country. A large number of the rap and hip hop audience is non-black. It has gone from the fringes, to the suburbs, and into the corporate boardrooms. Because it has become the fastest growing music genre in the U.S., companies and corporate giants have used its appeal to capitalize on it. Although critics of rap music and hip hop seem to be fixated on the messages of sex, violence, and harsh language, this genre offers a new paradigm of what can be (Lewis, 1998.) The potential of this art form to mend ethnic relations is substantial. Hip hop has challenged the system in ways that have unified individuals across a rich ethnic spectrum. This art form was once considered a fad has kept going strong for more than three decades. Generations consisting of Blacks, Whites, Latinos, and Asians have grown up immersed in hip-hop. Hip hop represents a realignment of America?s cultural aesthetics. Rap songs deliver a message, again and again, to keep it real. It has influenced young people of all races to search for excitement, artistic fulfillment, and a sense of identity by exploring the black underclass (Foreman, 2002). Though it is music, many people do not realize that it is much more than that. Hip hop is a form of art and culture, style, and language, and extension of commerce, and for many, a natural means of living. The purpose of this paper is to examine hip hop and its effect on American culture. Different aspects of hip hop will also be examined to shed some light that helps readers to what hip hop actually is. In order to see hip hop as a cultural influence we need to take a look at its history.

    Hip Hop culture is a culmination of things, such as music like rap, graffiti, and all around attitude, that allowed for the self expression of people from the inner cities. Music has always been a way for people of all generations to voice their opinions on social issues. Same goes for rap. The creator of the genre, Kool Herc, used to have large parties where he would speak while playing different records, forming the most primitive form of rap. These gatherings were credited for helping teens stay off the streets and out of trouble by giving them a place to release all their pent up energy. “The Message”, by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five released in 1982, is considered one of the first songs to spread a message of the awful conditions

  • Hip Hop Curriculum

    1429 Words  | 3 Pages

    Hip Hop connects to many students in urban schools and allows them to display their ideas and study their culture. By doing so, students become empowered and socially aware about issues and success that surrounds their culture. In order to purse Hip Hop based education in the class room more research needs to be conducted on the topic. There have been scattered instances of Hip Hop in the the classroom like Ladson-Billings’ (2009) and Kelly’s (2013) examples, but widespread Hip Hop curriculum and instruction has not taken place. Curriculums should be developed to be studied and critiqued. New research also needs to be conducted on culturally relevant pedagogy as a whole. As pointed out, current research has been minimal. New research on different classrooms and different scales should be considered. As urban school reform becomes increasingly discussed, culturally relevant should be a topic that takes on importance and attention. Culturally relevant pedagogy can be one tool to combat failing urban schools and students, and provide an equal and relevant education for the nation’s diverse

    To say that the Beat generation has affected modern culture seems at first to be no great revelation; it is inevitable that any period of history will affect the time that follows. The Beat generation is especially significant, though, because of its long lasting impact on American culture. Many aspects of modern American culture can be directly attributed to the Beat writers, primarily Allen Ginsburg, William Burroughs, Neal Cassady, and Jack Kerouac. (Asher) Their influence has changed the American perception of obscenity, has had profound effects on American music and literature, and has modified the public’s views on such topics as sex and drug use.
