To find success in any type of community, one needs the resources and support behind them to do so. In the hip hop community it is common for individuals from disadvantaged socioeconomic backgrounds throw themselves into their craft and never receive any recognition for their craft, or have it stolen from them and credited to someone else, with the support and resources. However, authenticity and originality are the most respected traits in the hip hop community, so when Zeke and the Kiplings’ throw a party playing Grandmaster Flash’s mixtape that they acquired without his permission, despite their good intentions, they destroy their relationship with Flash and are exiled from the hip hop community. The number one rule in hip hop is to never pass off someone else’s work as your own- if you’re not authentic you will not succeed. It is unfortunate that this had to happen as a result of trying to facilitate social change- raising money for DJ equipment to allow these disadvantaged youth to transcend their social boundaries and help bring good to their communities. They just needed the support and resources to achieve their goals and find their purpose. This is part of what the reading touched on, “Connecting youth to their purpose is about challenging young artists to think beyond themselves and those close to them- to assess their responsibility and role in society as cultural workers.” (53) Once the youth find their purpose and develop a sense of motivation, their political and social goals also become a part of their artistic work and becomes a catalyst for social change. At the end of the last episode, Zeke gets in an intense discussion with his teacher about where his priorities lie, and she tells him to “blaze [his] own trail”. Zeke has opportunities knocking on his door but still was pursuing other things to look successful because he believes it is what he is supposed to do- but he was ignoring opportunities for success in hip hop. His hip hop opportunities were a legitimate ticket to helping his community, why would this also not be considered as successful as his internship?
