  • Terror Since the Public School Error: Reconciling Hip Hop and Education 2
    Terror Since the Public School Error: Reconciling Hip Hop and Education Randy Ojeda & Eduardo Roman Loyola University Chicago School of Law Education Law and Policy, 2013 Terror Since the Public School Error: Reconciling Hip Hop and Education 2 Introduction Hip Hop and Education have been presented as oppositional spheres of influence in youth culture. Since its inception, Hip Hop has promoted values that conflict with the aim of the Public Education System. This division was created by the educational budget cuts which led to the rise of Hip Hop instrumentation and ethic. These budgetary cuts, along with the Hip Hop movement it birthed, enforced a culture of destabilization and anti-education in inner-city schools. However, these two spheres of influence can in fact overlap successfully to the benefit of educating urban youth. A possible solution to ending this ceiling of stagnation is using hip hop culture as a tool for education. While Hip Hop has created an urban youth culture of destabilization and anti-education, an embracing of hip hop by the educational system could lead to the development of social consciousness and critical skills both in and out of the classroom.

  • The Intertextuality and Translations of Fine Art and Class in Hip-Hop Culture
    arts Article The Intertextuality and Translations of Fine Art and Class in Hip-Hop Culture Adam de Paor-Evans Faculty of Culture and the Creative Industries, University of Central Lancashire, Lancashire PR1 2HE, UK; arhevans@uclan.ac.uk Received: 24 October 2018; Accepted: 12 November 2018; Published: 16 November 2018 Abstract: Hip-hop culture is structured around key representational elements, each of which is underpinned by the holistic element of knowledge. Hip-hop emerged as a cultural counter position to the socio-politics of the urban condition in 1970s New York City, fuelled by destitution, contextual displacement, and the cultural values of non-white diaspora. Graffiti—as the primary form of hip-hop expression—began as a political act before morphing into an artform which visually supported the music and dance elements of hip-hop. The emerging synergies graffiti shared with the practices of DJing, rap, and B-boying (breakdancing) forged a new form of art which challenged the cultural capital of music and visual and sonic arts. This article explores moments of intertextuality between visual and sonic metaphors in hip-hop culture and the canon of fine art. The tropes of Michelangelo, Warhol, Monet, and O’Keefe are interrogated through the lyrics of Melle Mel, LL Cool J, Rakim, Felt, Action Bronson, Homeboy Sandman and Aesop Rock to reveal hip-hop’s multifarious intertextuality. In conclusion, the article contests the fallacy of hip-hop as mainstream and lowbrow culture and affirms that the use of fine art tropes in hip-hop narratives builds a critical relationship between the previously disparate cultural values of hip-hop and fine art, and challenges conventions of the class system.

Much of this is attributed to the internet’s ability to provide consumers with easy access to free music, and hip hop has been especially impacted by this trend. Utilizing document analysis and personal interviews, this study found that the success of independent artists has influenced the business strategies of major record companies. In response to a dramatic decrease in record sales, major labels have made more of an effort to sign their artists to 360 deals, which allow the labels to profit from every aspect of an artist’s brand or identity.

  • “Our” Science: Hip Hop Epistemology in STEAM Education
    From “They” Science to “Our” Science: Hip Hop Epistemology in STEAM Education Maurice E Dolberry A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2015 Committee: Geneva Gay, Chair Wayne Au Christopher Emdin Program Authorized to Offer Degree: College of Education ©Copyright 2015 Maurice E Dolberry University of Washington Abstract From “They” Science to “Our” Science: Hip Hop Epistemology in STEAM Education By Maurice E Dolberry University of Washington Chair of Supervisory Committee: Professor Geneva Gay College of Education Keywords: hip hop; science; math; critical race theory; epistemology; pedagogy Hip hop has moved from being considered a type of music into being understood as a culture in which a prominent type of music originates. Hip hop culture has a philosophy and epistemological constructs as well. This study analyzed those constructs to determine how conceptions of science factor in hip hop worldviews. Pedagogical models in culturally responsive teaching and Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) education were also examined to discern their philosophical connections with hip hop culture. These connections were used to create two theoretical models. The first one, Hip Hop Science, described how scientific thought functions in hip hop culture. The second model, Hip Hop STEAM Pedagogy, proposes how hip hop culture can inform STEAM teaching practices. The study began by using Critical Race Theory to create a theoretical framework proposing how the two theoretical models could be derived from the philosophical and pedagogical concepts. Content analysis and narrative inquiry were used to analyze data collected from scholarly texts, hip hop songs, and interviews with hip hop-responsive educators.
