ol> In searching for a properly post-modern style
of music, it may be better to look at the
electronic music scene, which began with house
music in the early to middle 80 s, rather than at
hip-hop. It is true that the hip-hop artist
generally disappears into the narrative of the
music to the extent that many of their lives are a
direct reflection of what they sing about: gang
violence, drugs, racism, alienation in the US,
etc. but here already we encounter two problems.
One is the existential ch...

American country music on the Kenyan airwaves was

Despite the tremendous growth of hip hop music
during the late 1980 s, it was not until the early
1990 s that the first album of Tanzanian rap
appeared. Saleh Aljabry (otherwise known as Saleh

standard for future Tanzanian tappers. Most of the
songs were based on the music and rhythms of
American artists, such as Vanilla Ice's "Ice Ice
Baby" and Naug...

first dance was actually danced. Maybe this

it from other art movements. Andy Warhols Marilyn
is a perfect example of reproduction of image
already familiar to the audience, and is repeated
once, four times, or twenty times. Pop art takes
from commercial art and makes it the elite art as
well. That is why Pop art is so special, because

(McLeish, 1993). From the nineteenth century
onward the term popular culture took on new
meaning, referring to pop culture as somewhat
beneath higher culture (1993). In other words,
things that the common people enjoyed were looked
down upon as opposed to say, opera, cricket or
intellectual pursuits. Popular culture belonged to
the common man whereas the higher forms of
entertainment were enjoyed by the upper...

Walking the tight rope The recent murder of Tupac
Shakur is a great tragedy and a waste of a young,
promising life. Shakur at only 25 years-old had
come to represent a volatile mixture of youthful
energy, exuberance, arrogance, self-confidence
and, at times, foolishness. He represented
possibility on the one hand and self-destruction
on the other. What mustnt be overlooked as the
Hip-Hop Community mourns his loss is that there

Spirituality in Hip-Hop Many people view hip-hop
from only a commercial standpoint. This would
force them to believe that since mainstream rap is
riddled with references to violence, sex, and
money, that there is a lack of reverence or
acknowledgement for God. This problem is remedied,
however, if one looks deeper into the sources of
hip-hop. Mainstream music is the sub-genre of rap
in which the consumers most readily purchase. For
rap, the ideas that sell the easiest are these sex
