Hip Hop Speaking
Culturally Speaking: when a black person rejects the Hip-Hop/Rap culture is he/she considered a self-hater?
sell-out, or someone who is ashamed of his heritage? I saw someone mention this the other day, and It made me wonder: Why or how could this be? There are many people, like myself, who do not embrace this side of the music industry. Many factors for this is because my parents did not surround my every day life with that genre of music. Because of my parents mind setting, after a awhile I began to find it (some Rap) distasteful. Now, I don’t care for most of its influences.
Aside from my reasons, how could rejecting the Hip-Hop culture make one a sell-out, a self hater or a hater of his own roots?
it depends on WHY you dont like hip hop. Most of the time, people will say they dont like hip hop for reasons that have nothing to do with music.
for example: “all they talk about is sex and drugs” (this is not any more true about hip hop than it is about rock) – having that view would lead me to believe something is amiss
if you dont like Hip hop because the kick drums are too heavy and the beat is too repetitive I can understand that.
