I didn’t know anything about the Los angeles 1992 riots prior to reading this. I learned that people rioted over a 6 day period because of the verdict of Rodney King.

I knew that Hip hip was originally a party genre, but I didn’t know that it’s purpose was to talk about what people were doing. This is important because the genre unified people and created new fashion and art trends. ]]> 2019-04-26 14:45:23 UTC https://padlet.com/patti_messenger/bo97kg5y0vy7/wish/354475407 https://padlet.com/patti_messenger/bo97kg5y0vy7/wish/354475710 The show “The Get Down” was about the DJing/party atmosphere/birth of hip hop, and I knew a little bit about that from watching some of the show.]]> 2019-04-26 14:46:08 UTC https://padlet.com/patti_messenger/bo97kg5y0vy7/wish/354475710 https://padlet.com/patti_messenger/bo97kg5y0vy7/wish/354476117 I was surprised that there were 30,000 fires only in south Bronx during the years of 1973-1977. I also didn’t know about Daniel Patrick Moynihan and what he said about race. ]]> 2019-04-26 14:47:02 UTC https://padlet.com/patti_messenger/bo97kg5y0vy7/wish/354476117 https://padlet.com/patti_messenger/bo97kg5y0vy7/wish/354476224 If someone doesn’t know the history and  significance of our hip pop culture then they won’t understand the weight it holds in the culture of blacks ]]> 2019-04-26 14:47:15 UTC https://padlet.com/patti_messenger/bo97kg5y0vy7/wish/354476224 https://padlet.com/patti_messenger/bo97kg5y0vy7/wish/354476514 Because some people think there not diffrent]]> 2019-04-26 14:47:59 UTC https://padlet.com/patti_messenger/bo97kg5y0vy7/wish/354476514 https://padlet.com/patti_messenger/bo97kg5y0vy7/wish/354476538 Never knew this much about old rapping; didn’t know that they hosted parties in warehouses and such. ]]> 2019-04-26 14:48:04 UTC https://padlet.com/patti_messenger/bo97kg5y0vy7/wish/354476538 https://padlet.com/patti_messenger/bo97kg5y0vy7/wish/354477022 Rahim W.

I didn’t know that militant and Afro-centric hip hop was fully thriving in 1990s. I learned that there was a rivalry between the east and the west coast (influenced by Dr Dre, 2 pac, etc.)

This reminds me of the artists we have studied in class.]]> 2019-04-26 14:49:19 UTC https://padlet.com/patti_messenger/bo97kg5y0vy7/wish/354477056 https://padlet.com/patti_messenger/bo97kg5y0vy7/wish/354477196 I already knew that graffiti and dance moves were in the early stages of this hip hop culture coming to life. I learned the Mercedes ladies are the most tangible legacy of hip hop. This is important because early hip hop culture influences our present day hip hop art and careers. Dancing and clothing have evolved as you see in Quavo , Migos and even Cardi B. I was surprised at how mellow hip hop culture used to be as compared to additions today like rapping styles. ]]> 2019-04-26 14:49:39 UTC https://padlet.com/patti_messenger/bo97kg5y0vy7/wish/354477196 https://padlet.com/patti_messenger/bo97kg5y0vy7/wish/354477301 Rahim W 2


NWA is a great piece that is awkward brought up but never told right ]]> 2019-04-26 14:49:54 UTC https://padlet.com/patti_messenger/bo97kg5y0vy7/wish/354477301 https://padlet.com/patti_messenger/bo97kg5y0vy7/wish/354477448 I feel like nowadays pop (music) culture is appropriating more and more of hip hop culture, especially white pop culture. A good example is Ariana Grande, who has been called a “culture vulture” for her music, excessive tanning, and use of AAVE. I wonder if in the future pop music will peel away again from true hip hop, and hip hop will go back to being mostly a fixture of African American culture.]]> 2019-04-26 14:50:14 UTC https://padlet.com/patti_messenger/bo97kg5y0vy7/wish/354477448 https://padlet.com/patti_messenger/bo97kg5y0vy7/wish/354477534 Where is lil Wayne and other rappers that are more import.]]> 2019-04-26 14:50:26 UTC https://padlet.com/patti_messenger/bo97kg5y0vy7/wish/354477534 https://padlet.com/patti_messenger/bo97kg5y0vy7/wish/354477870 I didn’t know there were so many microgenres  of hip hop.

Are they from different regions, different facets of a community?]]> 2019-04-26 14:51:09 UTC https://padlet.com/patti_messenger/bo97kg5y0vy7/wish/354477870 https://padlet.com/patti_messenger/bo97kg5y0vy7/wish/354477997 Ishaan 4

I knew that the Bronx was a crime hub in the 1970s, but I didn’t know how bad it really was. There was a loss of 600,000 jobs which is pretty nuts. There was also environmental violence]]> 2019-04-26 14:51:25 UTC https://padlet.com/patti_messenger/bo97kg5y0vy7/wish/354477997 https://padlet.com/patti_messenger/bo97kg5y0vy7/wish/354478194 Why are Kendrick, Childish Gambino, and Chance a “movement towards the past”?]]> 2019-04-26 14:51:53 UTC https://padlet.com/patti_messenger/bo97kg5y0vy7/wish/354478194 https://padlet.com/patti_messenger/bo97kg5y0vy7/wish/354478812 Styles and messages of raps have evolved. They used tobe  strongly political and cultural and it still is, but nowadays most rappers include raps with sexual meaning to intensify the audiences interests. Strong messages are still found today,  but our younger viewers are more interested in lyrics that “pop”more in a sense. ]]> 2019-04-26 14:53:18 UTC https://padlet.com/patti_messenger/bo97kg5y0vy7/wish/354478812 https://padlet.com/patti_messenger/bo97kg5y0vy7/wish/354479300 Never knew that Dr. Dre produced 50 Cent.]]> 2019-04-26 14:54:12 UTC https://padlet.com/patti_messenger/bo97kg5y0vy7/wish/354479300 https://padlet.com/patti_messenger/bo97kg5y0vy7/wish/354479366 Hip hop has thought me how to be a black man in america, rappers often encounter the most hate because they are black and proud and the difference in our culture vs other cultures ]]> 2019-04-26 14:54:20 UTC https://padlet.com/patti_messenger/bo97kg5y0vy7/wish/354479366 https://padlet.com/patti_messenger/bo97kg5y0vy7/wish/354479599 I didn’t know about the Los Angeles riots in 1992, but I kind of remember hearing about Rodney King. I think this connects to what is happening today with the amount of police brutality. This connects to how artists today use their work to promote awareness about police brutality. Along with the marches and protest that people are doing as a result of all the violence. ]]> 2019-04-26 14:54:42 UTC https://padlet.com/patti_messenger/bo97kg5y0vy7/wish/354479599 https://padlet.com/patti_messenger/bo97kg5y0vy7/wish/354479735 Ishaan 3

I think alot  of hip hops stay comes from the culture of its fans (the nature in which people share and appreciate music) and the encouragement surrounding collaborations of big and/or rising artists.]]> 2019-04-30 12:06:25 UTC https://padlet.com/patti_messenger/bo97kg5y0vy7/wish/355383137 https://padlet.com/patti_messenger/bo97kg5y0vy7/wish/355385325 I understood that there was a distinction between the terms prior to reading this background information but I appreciate the clarity and simplicity with which it is explained here (Hip Hop as a lifestyle and rapping as one of multiple forms of expression within that lifestyle).]]> 2019-04-30 12:13:18 UTC https://padlet.com/patti_messenger/bo97kg5y0vy7/wish/355385325 https://padlet.com/patti_messenger/bo97kg5y0vy7/wish/355387069 I find that these artists (primarily Kendrick Lamar and Childush Gambino) have made music that examines the present while communicating through mediums influenced by the past but I do get the sense that the music is still meant very much to reflect the reality with which many people continue to find themselves facing today.]]> 2019-04-30 12:18:31 UTC https://padlet.com/patti_messenger/bo97kg5y0vy7/wish/355387069 https://padlet.com/patti_messenger/bo97kg5y0vy7/wish/359520901 It's interesting to have an in depth analysis of the whole "Rap Wars", especially when it was before my generation's time. Every time I hear about the rap wars it's always opinionated and I feel like it's blown out of proportion (even though it was pretty big and people died)]]> 2019-05-13 15:12:00 UTC https://padlet.com/patti_messenger/bo97kg5y0vy7/wish/359520901 https://padlet.com/patti_messenger/bo97kg5y0vy7/wish/359522507 Not a lot of people know the full details of what happened and most of the time it's just rumors and gossip. Despite that, the culture from that time has been displayed greatly throughout my generation as an "echo" of the gangsta motif has stayed with both white and black communities. ]]> 2019-05-13 15:15:25 UTC https://padlet.com/patti_messenger/bo97kg5y0vy7/wish/359522507 https://padlet.com/patti_messenger/bo97kg5y0vy7/wish/359525174 The whole dispute between hip-hop and rap has been going on for ages. I remember when my Father would explain the difference to me when I was much younger. Many rappers had beef with each other by calling each other hip-hop artists as an insult. So it's very interesting to get an affirmative answer on what the difference is between the two genres.]]> 2019-05-13 15:20:28 UTC https://padlet.com/patti_messenger/bo97kg5y0vy7/wish/359525174 https://padlet.com/patti_messenger/bo97kg5y0vy7/wish/359527185 The history of hip-hop is very interesting. I didn't know music genres had such interesting beginnings, I always thought music just started by someone playing it first not actually affecting real world events]]> 2019-05-13 15:24:06 UTC https://padlet.com/patti_messenger/bo97kg5y0vy7/wish/359527185 https://padlet.com/patti_messenger/bo97kg5y0vy7/wish/359529233 Origins of rap started with a NY senator, well that's surprising indeed but I kind of expected more from the history of rap as that genre is so legendary]]> 2019-05-13 15:27:46 UTC https://padlet.com/patti_messenger/bo97kg5y0vy7/wish/359529233
