Hip Hop Decal
A question about hip-hop?
I’ve heard many people say that hip-hop is a culture and not just a genre of music. What exactly does that mean?
I live near an area (about 15 miles away) where most of the music and fashion styles I hear and see are hip-hop…especially gangsta rap. I’ve noticed several things, such as:
1-A lot of “R.I.P.” decals on the back windows of cars with someone’s birthday and date of death. Most of the dead are in their teens and twenties.
2-A lot of young, single mothers.
3-A lot of drugs…I mean a whole lot!
4-A lot of violent crime
5-A lot of “Stop snitchin’” t-shirts and bumper stickers.
I understand that all these things are found everywhere, but I just see so much of it here. I also realize that some are also symptoms of poor communities.
Do you expect hip-hop artists to just rap/sing about these problems, or do you expect the music to help solve these problems?
that is included in many of these hip hop songs but none of those dot points apply for me
in fact im an australian girl with an english background, my mum is not single, there isn’t much drug dealing and there definately isn’t much violent crime and i can still relate to hip hop music so there must be more messages in it
