AN INTRODUCTION TO HIP HOP
Presented By Master Teacher, KRS-One
When people think of hip-hop they tend to think of rap music and its related activities. For most people hip-hop is a popular music genre, and this is how most people approach hip-hop. Regardless as to how the original founders of Hip Hop depict and interpret THEIR culture, most professors and activists alike approach hip-hop in the way that mainstream corporations approach it—as a product to be bought and sold. Because of this, those who practice the artistic elements of Hip Hop as well as those who may teach some aspect of hip-hop limit themselves to a corporate point of view where hip-hop is approached as an object to be sold, and not as a subject to be learned.
Such a limited view of Hip Hop is then perpetuated in the academic arena where objectivity sets the foundation for how anyone approaches anything. As a result, when it comes to the actual teaching of real Hip Hop, many professors fall short because they don’t actually LIVE Hiphop; they are still objective with it, they are still observing it as opposed to being it; they are still reading about it as opposed to actually doing it. They may teach a history of hip-hop, or they may have even been a Hip Hop pioneer themselves, but when it comes to actually being Hiphop and then imparting useful Hip Hop knowledge and techniques designed to enhance and empower the actual lives of real people, many hip-hop courses remain wholly inadequate.
This short introduction to Hip Hop is designed to get you prepared for the deeper lessons on Hiphop that must be experienced in order to be known. These lessons are for those who are serious about the teaching of Hip Hop and its needed preservation. Before we begin, let us first go over the basics.
