	New Zealand hip hop - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hip hop is originally an African American cultural movement, composed of four parts: rapping, DJing, graffiti art and breakdancing.
		The first element of hip hop to reach New Zealand was breakdancing, which gained notoriety after the release of the 1979 gangster movie The Warriors.
		The first hip hop hit single, "Rapper's Delight" by the Sugarhill Gang became a hit in New Zealand when it was released there, in 1980, a year after it was released in the United States.

	‘How many dudes you know roll like this?': the re-presentation of hip hop tropes in New Zealand rap music by ...
		Hip hop culture and its musical element, rap music, have become a major cultural force in the last 20 plus years, spawning global proponents and cultural offshoots around the globe, many of which speak for alternative and marginalised voices, just like the parent culture.
		There is much to say about hip hop in Aotearoa [1]/ New Zealand, much to theorise and document, this paper looks specifically at a number of hip hop 'tropes' and how they are 're-presented' in a new cultural context, 'representing' for a related but distinct hip hop context.
		The initiation of annual hip hop summits (the first one in 2000 in Christchurch) shows the organisation, passion and intelligence this musical subculture is being approached and appropriated with in the new millennium and has ensured the proliferation of all the core elements (Zemke-White 2004).

		Hot 97's landlord, New York's carpenters' union, is placing serious restrictions on hip hop artists who visit the station, including limiting their guests to one additional person, having advanced notice of who's going to be coming in so appropriate security measures can be taken and possibly barring certain guests entirely.
		Hip Hop Lives Here has a strong statement related to a recent rally in NY that ties together concerns about white male dominated corporations profiting from the marketing of "negative stereotypes, discrimination, misogyny, violence, and hate speech" with a focus on Hot 97's parent company Emmis Communications.
		Although the only direct connection to hip hop seems to be the headline, this article on college radio station WMUC 88.1 FM's founding of a record label also discusses their gradual move from a nonprofit to a self-funded project.

	Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Set The Record Straight - Fast Crew at Epinions.com
		It’s not that I wasn’t a fan of hip hop beforehand, but too much of it all sounded similar and unless you were a really big name like Eminem, you didn’t get that much radio coverage.
		Hip hop mixed with rock really hits the nail on the head when it comes to this track, and it’s successor, Oops, My Bad, a slower paced number that still manages to up the ante.
		Their unique mix of hip hop and rock on may tracks is the main reason why Fast Crew are one of the best New Zealand hip hop acts, and are my current favourite hip hop act, New Zealand or otherwise.

		She said R n B is popular in New Zealand because a lot of people can relate to it and it allows them to escape their ordinary lives while they listen to it.
		New Zealand R n B artists are influenced by American artists, but Zemke-White said their music is unique and heavily influenced by their Pacific backgrounds.
		Polynesian instruments like drums and ukeleles are often used in New Zealand R n B, and artists often refer to their culture or New Zealand slang and landmarks that illustrate its New Zealand and pacific island influence.

		There’s also some concern that, as Hip Hop’s commercial popularity rises, bikini-clad females, ‘doing little but shakin’ their booties’,10 will become more common.
		Despite women’s participation in Aotearoa’s Hip Hop scene it’s still very small compared to that of males, although there is a feeling among the women of Hip Hop that gender (whether someone is male or female) is not an issue for them.

		Dean Hapeta launched New Zealand's political hip-hop scene by linking the force of Maori culture with the struggle of fl nationalism to fuel consciousness and controversy
		So the boy began to look inward, to imagine a "new breed"--proud of his Maori past and committed to a radical break with the legacy of colonial domination.
		For example, he recalls that "meeting Farrakhan was like going to the mountain-top." There was also the thrill of performing in Detroit and New York and even being interviewed inside Harlem's Apollo Theatre, where nearly all the great African American musicians have played.
