Hip Hop Culture

I will say that it is genuinely sad when a culture starts to fade away. It is important to keep the culture alive and well rather than stand by and let it be demolished as well.

Hip Hop Culture is the culture I speak on today... So many artists get sucked into the trends of the modern society. '

This is why I love Kendrick Lamar as an artist because he knows what is right and sticks to it. Even before the beef with Drake, he showed his fans what being real and understanding hip hop culture really looks like.

Love it.

Techo-Art?

Is technology going to take over art?

Technology is the worlds fastest innovation to modern society and seems to be growing only faster and faster.. So...

What happens to art? Not only art as in painting, drawing, or sketching...

But art as in the collective!

Music, DAnce, ACTing, ILLUSTrating, and MORE!

If technology take over these forms of art, how can we as a people progress?

CHAPTER 10 Questions and Answers

Urban & Graffiti Arts

Urban Art looks and feels like graffiti right?

Graffiti looks like Urban Art.

So what are the key differences?

Urban Art has more of an image based design while Graffiti has more of a word based design.

Graffiti also can be used for recognition or attention to an artist or gang, while Urban Art is just an organized abstract expression of art.

Here are some examples:

GRAFFITI

CHAPTER 7 Questions and Answers

Hip Hop Movement

Your own body has movement in music. Whether you know it or not- your body is always moving and creating a rhythm.

Your heart beating in a certain pattern-

Your leg/foot tapping to pass time-

You cracking your knuckles-

Even kissing your teeth-

All of these moments create a sound and whether you know it or not, that hip hop.

Hip hop is not just the modern music we hear today, it's more of a culture. Being able to hear all of the sounds a body could make and turning it into a "chant" or a "song" is of an ancient African time. Tribes would often use their bodies to create sound or music as a culture or tradition. Before there were drums and auto percussions, there were slaps, taps, and mouths.

hm... mouths? like beatboxing?

YES! Just like that. That ti-ti-ti-tat-ti-ti-ti-ti-tat is beatboxing.

Or in other words ancient hip hop with the movement of your mouth (& body).

MCing

*Drops the Mic*

What is MCing?

Old school rap that makes you feel a gangster personality.

A way of spreading a message to a group of people on stage.

Voting ended onDec 7, 2024

Yeah. It's a way of spreading encouraging messages in a rhythmic flow using emphasis on certain words, rhyming organically and not to a specific pattern, and knowledge beyond reach for effective vocabulary.

MCing is such an art that some have even went as far as learning the entire dictionary to gain knowledge and leverage on their rhymes.

CHAPTER 5 Questions and Answers

What is Go-Go Music?

That ..^.. is Go-Go.

This type of music, like said in the video, has a funkadelic sound mixed with Latin drums.

Go-Go bands bring out the soul of the person and uses elements such as call and response, role call, syncopated polyrhythms, and a vast use of percussion instruments.

Go-Go Music's home is the capital of the United States (Washington D.C.) and it is a beautiful sound. Especially in-person.
