The Influence Of Hip Hop On Black Culture

The block parties, graffiti art, rapping, disc jockeying and diverse forms of dancing built Hip Hop by the black youth. They expressed their feelings, thoughts, but most importantly the problems they had to face, which were related to their race, gender and social positions. The rights that were given to black people during and after the Civil Rights Movement left the following generations at a lack of how to continue the fight for black rights. Hip Hop gave them this platform and with the usage of black nationalism, Hip Hop can explore the challenges that confront American-Americans in the post-Civil Rights Movement era. In the 1990’s Hip Hop lived its prime, sub genres started to appear and famous groups, MCs led the whole community, providing a voice to a group of people trying to deliver their message.

In James McBride's essay Hip Hop Planet, he argues that hip hop has a negative influence on American Culture despite people thinking of it as inspirational and how people live through different experiences in life despite of your race.

Do the Right Thing Essay Spike Lee’s film Do the Right Thing portrayed the struggle between young Blacks and the problems that they face.

Has the violent culture in their neighborhoods and their relationship with police officers given them limited choices? Do the Right Thing brings about many questions, while also leaving it up to the diverse audience to decide what they feel the right thing is.

Hip Hop was much more than just a music genre. Hip hop was a youth movement that began in the late 1970’s; even more than that, it was a nationwide culture. It was a highly influential culture of American youths that was exceedingly popular especially among urban Black communities at the height of its popularity. After the Civil Rights Movement, black youth felt the need to have some sort of medium to express their frustrations at their daily problems and struggles, a medium of which they did not previously have before this. Media stations would rarely ever showcase black individuals, even for news outlets or things that we may deem essential today.

Now it has a positive meaning behind it, such as many colored people calling a close friend there nigga, now it is equivalent to calling them a brother. Another reason it is so popular in today’s music is because of the rhythmic presentation as well as the history that falls behind the word itself. Saying the word for an African American today is like taking away all of the power from everyone else as opposed to allowing to still mean a racist term and affect them negatively. In conclusion, I believe this word that was once used to undermine and degrade many races, has now been empowered. During the Civil Rights Movement it was used in R&B, rap, and rock songs played by African Americans to take out the negativity and portray the emotions they felt about being suppressed and impairer.

Mark Edmundson observes through his years of teaching that students lack intellectual curiosity as a result of the consumer driven society we live in. He argues that colleges now devoted to consumerism to it’s students. “That usually meant creating more comfortable, less challenging environments, places where no one failed, everything was enjoyable, and everyone was nice.” Colleges fulfill the needs of students to be entertained in their classes. Some professors are now putting an effort to make class enjoyable to students. So students would now expect their college classes to be enjoyable, to be a good class according to them.

Music associated and developed in black culture has, since the 30’s, been marketed and sold by white companies. Giving white people, uninvolved with the afro-american culture, the opportunity to make money of cultural expressions that do not belong to them. Unlike all earlier black urban music genres, rap music has given young black Americans the opportunity to gain control over their own situation. Basu states that, "Rap differs in fundamental ways that have profound implications on ownership and control" and continues by saying, later on in the article, that,

School Uniforms Are The Way To Go School uniforms are essential towards a school’s success. There are many benefits to having uniforms, yet many would still argue that uniforms hinder students’ abilities to express themselves, but if uniforms are strictly enforced, students will be able to focus more in school, be less likely to indulge in gang violence, and help lower income families save money on clothes.
