According to Spotify, the world’s largest music streaming service, hip-hop is the world’s most popular genre of music. This is an amazing feat from a genre created less than fifty years ago in New York City. Modern day hip-hop deviates from its original purpose of providing a voice for underrepresented groups as hip-hop spread throughout the country and became overly commercialized.
The rise of hip-hop’s popularity within the last 30 years has been in part due to creative geniuses from all races and religions, but although making up a tiny fraction of the population, Jews were instrumental in its boom.

The Physical Representation of music The materialization of music is changing, as we know music is the most intangible of the arts, yet the materialization or physical representation plays an enormous role in our relationship with music.
