Since you are writing about Hip Hop from now and comparing it to Hip Hop from then, read these and think about whether or not you agree. If you would like to use Greg Tate’s article “Hip Hop Turns Thirty as a source, I encourage it or anything else from “Flyboy 2” , but regardless, meditate on these two quotes from the article before you begin writing. What the heck are we celebrating exactly? A right and proper question, that one is, mate. One to which my best answer has been: Nothing less, my man, than the marriage of heaven and hell, of New World African ingenuity and that trick of the devil known as global hyper-capitalism. Hooray. We’ll tell them how fools thought they were celebrating the 30th anniversary of hiphop……..when they were really presiding over a funeral.

First, the state of Americas soul. Will a commitment to social justice, to nonpolarizingpolitics and old-fashioned community resurface? If so, such a humanist movement would certainly alter the culture, perhaps spawning a musical movement as optimistic as the golden days of Motown. Dont hold your breath. One day …..all this fun and fury will seem as antiquated as spats and big bands do to us. The next generation may reject hip hop for the next sweeping cultural trend. And, by the logic of pop culture, they are actually supposed to. But, whether they like it or not, theyll know there once was a hip hop America. ... Purchase answer to see full attachment
