I think it’s safe to say I was overwhelmed with an influx of information regarding the history of hip hop. I already knew about the idea of hip hop being very male dominated, but really enjoyed going a little bit more in depth about it. I’m excited to get into the deconstructing gender and sexuality… Continue reading Montagnino_History of Hip Hop
As someone who enjoys the often problematic flossy rap of the 21st century it was interesting to visit the rap and hip hop cultural atmosphere that started it all. Hip hop started from the hood and was popularized by poor young Latinos and black individuals. I admire the defiant and revolutionary performances, pieces and music… Continue reading Tompkins_my take on hip hop history-trudy
I was very excited to take this class and learn more about women within the hip hop industry, I always wondered what it took for them to be seen as queens and masters and the toll the road to the top had taken on them. I love how we open every class with a specific… Continue reading Duncan_Hip Hop History
Hip-hop has always been an area of interest of mine since I was very young. I would listen to hip-hop on the radio or with some of my friends, and I was so infatuated with the music that it led me to be a huge fan to this day. It was not until this class… Continue reading Preston_ Hip Hop History
The last section of the Hip-Hop section about space and place really challenged the way I think about Hip-Hop and pop culture. Normally hip-hop is not the forefront of my conversations when it comes to race, gender, and sexuality.

I came into this class thinking I’d know next to nothing about hip-hop and its origins, but it turns out I knew more than I thought I did – I just never related it to hip-hop. In high school, I took a class on urban history and we discussed Robert Moses and his plan to… Continue reading Palme_Exploring Hip-Hop’s History
I wound up taking this class because I need more credits to graduate. That being said, I was excited for GSHH. I hardly knew anything about hip-hop but learning and analyzing it through the lens of gender and sexuality was appealing. Starting class with Missy Elliot’s Throw It Back had the class thinking about rappers,… Continue reading What Resonates by E.Knapp
I’ve always been fascinated with the origins of music genres. Hip Hop has been the genre I knew least about before this class, save a few throwback songs such as F*ck the Police and The Body Rock.I grew up listening to 70s music – so learning more about the intersections between Rock, Jazz, and Hip… Continue reading Emma Murphy’s Blog #1- Hip Hop History
During the first class I was not expecting to watch Missy Elliot’s Throw is Back music video. While watching it I did not expect us to have a full breakdown of what are some elements of hip hop. Usually when you think of hip hop it is always aggressive or rough with a bunch of… Continue reading Nguyen_Hip-Hop History Recap Edit
The Foreman Murray reading is really interesting because it talks about race and classes in America. “Hip-Hop has evolved into North America’s most influential youth-oriented forces provides sustained articulation of the social partitioning of race and the diverse experiences of being young black, latino in the United States.”.(3) Looking into this quote it is quite… Continue reading Express Yourself
