	Hip hop music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hip hop music is also erroneously used at times to describe related genres of music, such as contemporary RandB, which are primarily sung, probably for increasing their commercial appeal; while singing is commonly present in hip hop tracks, the main vocal (if there are vocals) is always rapped.
		Hip hop music is a part of hip hop, a cultural movement that includes the activities of breakdancing and graffiti art, as well as associated slang, fashion and other elements.
		Mainstream stars rose to prominence in the Philippines, led by Michael V. Rap Asia, MC Lara and Lady Diane, and in Japan, where underground rappers had previously found a limited audience, and popular teen idols brought a style called J-rap to the top of the charts in the middle of the 1990s.

	Christian hip hop - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Many mainstream hip hop artists have made acknowledgements of faith (including Kanye West, Ma$e, DMX, and Will Smith) but are not typically considered Christian hip hop artists, as the themes of their lyrics do not typically reflect spiritual faith, and often contain content considered blasphemous by some Christians.
		Christian rap and hip hop artists are professed Christians in most cases, and use the fact that they are urban or suburban as a positive issue used to spread their religion, and like all Christian music, it can be experienced as Christian worship.
		One of the most notable mainstream reactions to Christian hip hop was to KJ-52 and his single "Dear Slim," which was written to Eminem in an attempt reach him with the message of Christ.

		Widely regarded as an unheralded hip hop classic in the mainstream, that true Jigga zealots eschew as possibly his most skillful display of the talent and intelligence he later "dumbed down" in order to "double his dollars", the celebratory concert is being promoted as Hova embodying the new American Dream.
		Hip hop culture seems to be running with this idea.
		However hip hop's overrepresentation of ignorant fl people is bound to diminish in the next few years.

	The Fight to Balance Mainstream Hip Hop
		Now, when we examine the genre for what it is, we observe that there is a difference between "Rap" and "Hip Hop." Each of the terms refers to the style of music that features the rhythmic presentation of words (and parts of words) syncopated to a beat.
		This is where I have a major problem with the Hip Hop we hear everyday on the radio and see every day, on our most popular TV shows.
		Hence, the Gospel Hip Hop movement seeks to harness this attitude motivator and lifestyle-molding force by pouring in the word of God.

	A magazine to FEED the soul \| Christian Hip Hop Magazine
		Both Sherice and Nathan grew up with hip hop culture and although their experiences are different, those years play a large part in what they do now.
		Sherice, who fills the roles of co-publisher and editorial director, didn’t become a Christian until she was in her early twenties, and by that time hip hop culture was an important aspect of her life.
		The negative message of a large portion of secular hip hop music was a contradiction to her new Christian life, however, and she started looking for an alternative that didn’t really exist that the time.

	Desi Hip Hop
		This paper, based on two years of ethnographic fieldwork among South Asian American hip hop artists, analyzes how second generation immigrant youth forge alliances with Blacks based on a politics of identification, resulting in new racialized second generation identities.
		These hip hop artists' racial identifications as "people of color," who belong to a "broader Black consciousness" while maintaining the ethnic distinctiveness, challenge us to rethink theoretical and common sense conceptions of "Blackness" and "Indianess" and contests naturalized notions of ethnicity, culture, and belonging while highlighting the continued relevance of race in America.
		Combining their multiple experiences, identities, and tastes, the Feenoms are producing music that is neither mainstream nor underground, but a hybrid utilizing the best qualities of both extremes of hip-hop.

		Over the past 10 years, they (and to a slightly lesser extent, Common) have established themselves leaders in an intellectual hip hop vanguard; sophisticated, complex, conscious yet in a human way to connect with a listener and understanding of hip hop relationship as both a continuum and a break from the African American musical tradition.

	Christian hip-hop aims for mainstream
		For the most part, the majority of Christian hip-hop that existed was all about the 'Jesus raps.' Now people are applying their faith to things that are relevant to people everyday.
		The success of mainstream acts who send a spiritual message - West, Mase and others among them - could open doors for lesser-known Christian rappers.
		With the mainstream's ear open to spiritual messages for the moment, maybe Christian hip-hop artists like MacDonald and Brown can slip in.

	Exploitation of Women in Hip-Hop Culture
		A part of the learned mainstream American culture is sexism and misogyny.
		Hip-hop culture is frequently condemned for its misogynistic exploitation of women, but this misogyny has its roots in the culture in which we live.

		The fight that the more conscious rappers must rage is to put Black consciousness back into Hip Hop and not allow these so called Hip Hop Wars to divert attention away from the real issues facing, not only the Hip Hop Generation but Afrikan people, in general.
		In post 9/11 America, where the issues that are exclusive to the Black community have all but been forgotten by the so called mainstream, Hip Hop must play a major role in shoving these issues in America's face.
		This can be applied to Hip Hop, as all have come up short when their ways and actions are weighed against that historical struggle for Black Liberation.
