Definición

  • Hip-hop started in the Bronx, New York, as a genre of music based on “DJ-ing,” “B-boying,” graffiti writing, and “MC-ing.” Over time, hip-hop artists addressed concerns pertinent to inner-city inhabitants such as urban poverty and racism in the form of police brutality and racial profiling. Despite its potential for empowerment and emancipation, there are several criticisms leveled against the genre, with the main ones being that it glorifies violence and is sexist and misogynistic.
