Hip-Hop culture
Assignment 1-3-2
Since the emergence of the hip-hop culturet there's been different myths and beliefs believed to be associated with it. The hip-hop culture uniqueness stirred controversies in america leading any to develop their own allegories and assumptions about the culture. Not only did the america form these myths but the people apart of hip-hop culture did as well.
Over time myths and beliefs have been embedded into the minds in society to think:
- Tupac is really dead he's living some where on an island
- P-diddy set up Biggie- smalls to be killed
- Aaliyah was killed as a blood sacrifice
- Kanye West planned to dis taylor swift at the awards
- Hip-hop members are in the illuminati
- Hip-hop is black culture
- On BET,VH1, and MTV support the hip-hop culture
Rappers and hip-hop figures have supported some of these myths implicitly and explicitly. For example, Tupac rapped about dying and that he was going to fake his death, and as soon as he died the myth he was still alive was born. Tupac implicitly and explicitly supported this myth by his actions and song lyrics. Some myths have stirred world controversies, in another example the myth that hip-hop members are in the illuminati. The hand signs, the constant reference to the illuminati in song lyrics, and performance connotations have hyped the myth, and no ones denying it.
