Definition Of "Hip -Hop"

     There is no definite definition for the term "hip-hop" because it is always changing. Hip-Hop can be described though as many things. I would like to describe Hip-Hop as expressive language. Many artists use Hip-Hop to express how they feel either on a personal, local, or global issue. Another term that I would use to describe Hip-Hop is culture. Hip-Hop combines many different cultures to create music.
      One place here on campus that I always love to see if the graffiti tunnel right by Norman Hall. Through the graffiti tunnel you are able to see many different things people have been able to express. This relates to my definition of Hip-Hop by expressive language. Hip-Hop artists are able to express and let go emotions through their music. When people use graffiti in the tunnel at Norman they too are expressing emotion, and language.

  1. I like this idea a lot. Hip hop is definitely ever-changing. Perhaps that is one of the broader definitions we can provide hip hop?
