... commitment to the black community, thus
serving as a shining example of the lessons of his
music. Brown's message of change by improving
currently existing systems was conservative in
comparison to some more radical artists. These
artists, like the Last Poets, believe that change
would only come around through a revolution. The
Last Poets who use a combination of spoken word
and music in their song "Niggers Are Scared of
Revolution" exemplify this. The song addresses
apathy in the black comm...

The music genre defined as hip-hop, or rap, has
been gaining a lot of attention over the past
twenty years. In their articles, J. Victoria
Sanders (Horizon), Allison Samuels, N'Gai Croal,
David Gates (Newsweek), and an unknown author
(Time), discuss the changing faces of hip-hop and
its effects on today's society. One specific
aspect of hip-hop music that all of the writers
agree on is that the references to sex, violence,
and the bad attitudes towards the female species
are getting worse and so...

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 History Of Hip Hop Culture

Hip-hop culture developed during the seventies.
Throughout its formation, the various elements
were at some time or another, deemed unacceptable.
Graffiti artists faced jail sentences, break
dancing became illegal in some areas, and rap
music has been severely criticized for various
reasons. These elements were never analyzed in an
oppositional manner until recently, however.
Hip-hop culture represented the claiming of urban
communities by the residents. Writers decorated

... s be considered the original founder of rap
music, because the DJ created the sound
responsible for rap. Of the many influential DJs
that have been given credit for founding raps
unique sound, perhaps none were as significant as
Clive Campbell (a. k. a. Kool Herc), who is
credited with inventing the breakbeat (Rhodes).
Herc immigrated to the West Bronx from Jamaica in
1967 (Unofficial Timeline). He was nicknamed
Hercules or Herc for short because of his athletic
talents (Rhodes). In 1973, He...

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
J) released the first Tanzanian rap album, Swahili
Rap. The album immediately became a sensation all
over the country and, in many ways, set a high
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...

How Break Dancing is being used as a political
vehicle. Dancing is one of the oldest ways to
express emotions. It is unknown where and when
first dance was actually danced. Maybe this
happened in some cave after the successful hunt on
mammoth, nobody knows. Dance can be relaxing, or
seductive, or angry, or sad. Like a code written
on the body, dance is an essay, epic, novel, or
poem about culture articulated through the vehicle
of the body. Pointing out gender, ethnicity, and
class as an inheren...

The Hip-Hop/Rock Phenomenon It seems as though you
can barely read a magazine or flip on the
television without hearing about one of these new
hip-hop / rock groups. Media outlets such as
Rolling Stone and MTV treat these bands as though
miraculously created this? new? genre of music.
Acts such as Limp Bizkit, Kid Rock and Sugar Ray
are treated though they are creative geniuses when
in reality they are only doing things that have
already been done before. True some of these new

Roughly fifteen years ago, the initial rumblings
of rap music were emanating from the streets of
New York City. Rap music is very much a product of
its urbanized, literacy-based environment, as can
be seen in the advanced technology necessary to
produce the music. Although the connection between
rap music and its modern roots is impossible to
ignore, raps dependence upon high technology is
often over-emphasized, eclipsing any opportunity
to connect rap culture to a time before the world

Often times when people hear about Hip Hop/Rap
music, theyll paint a picture in their heads of
black men cussing, guns, marijuana, lots of gold,
and girls looking like prostitutes. Parents and
teachers put an image in their kids head that Rap
music is bad, and they dont want their kids to be
influenced by something that is negative. With the
way Rap music is advertised in the US, I would
have to agree with that looking at it from an
average parents point of view. But what people

RAP MUSIC Popular culture is defined as the
ordinary culture people make for themselves
(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...

Born Lawrence Parker in Park Slope, Brooklyn in
the summer of 1965, the rapper left home at 14 to
play basketball and read books free of the gaze of
the authorities (his mother and the New York City
public school system). He landed in a homeless
shelter in the South Bronx, where he was dubbed
Krishna by residents because of his interest in
the Hare Krishna spirituality of some of the
antipoverty workers. By the time Krishna met youth
counselor Scott Sterling, he was also writing

Poe Reader

It is very easy to associate Edgar Allen Poe with
thoughts of dreariness and darkness and with good
reason as much of his writing does reflect those
very downcast moods. Although, authors do like to
sometimes break their stereotypes and produce
things entirely different from their usual and Poe
is no exception. This can be easily observed by
comparing the use of his lead characters in the
stories? The Black Cat? , ? Hop-Frog? and? The
Purloined Letter. ? Each character is in a

Hip Hop Ain T

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

The history of Swing dates back to the 1920 s,
where the black community, while dancing to
contemporary Jazz music, discovered the Charleston
and the Lindy Hop. On March 26, 1926, the Savoy
Ballroom opened its doors in New York. The Savoy
was an immediate success with its block-long dance
floor and a raised double bandstand. Nightly
dancing brought in most of the best dancers in the
New York area. Really being moved by the presence
