I found Monday’s class very interesting with respect to a better understanding of what a cultural movement is and how it applies to hip-hop.
At first, I must admit that I did not understand how my peers were illustrating that hip-hop could be recognized as a cultural movement and yet it is however, criticized as a movement that does not impact social change or progress.
I immediately thought, that this notion was very incorrect. A cultural movement when recognized as a cultural movement should also be acknowledged as a powerful process that without you realizing it is creating a change or shift in people's political or social consciousness. To think that we should not expect it to or that it doesn’t impact society at all makes us culturally
