- W369537073 abstract "Starting with the definition of hip hop as the second wave in the history of African-American cultural movements after the Harlem Renaissance in the early 20th century, Professor Iida described the difference between the two using the following 5 factors; cultural categories, the age of the producers, the cultural roots, the amount of wealth, and, the quickness and power of response. Because of these differences, he concludes that hip hop is more influential than the Harlem Renaissance in African-American cultural movements. With this reason, Prof. Iida focused on “rap music” in the general topic of this session “Hip Hop and Social Justice”. He started by explaining that rap music had been born in the poor districts of New York City in the 1970s; that many of early hip hop DJs came from the Caribbean or Caribbean relatives; that early rap DJs were using the techniques called “break”, “loop” and “scratch” with various examples. The first hit record of rap music, as he explained, was Sugarhill Gang’s “Rapper’s Delight” in 1979, which is a simple musical composition with a melody borrowed from an African-American pop group Chic’s “Good Times”. He also pointed out that, in spite of the melody that was directly borrowed from other pop music, the words were very unique because it was written in an African-American inner city vernacular, called “ebonics”, and he continued to emphasize that this common tongue made this style of music more communicative and expressive rather than other musical styles. This instantly made me think of “griots”, a traditional poet in Africa, who carried stories, news and social messages from area to area speaking while standing in the crossroads of a society without letters. They were the so-called spokespersons with critical insight towards the social context. As I predicted and expected, Prof. Iida started developing his opinion into the main stream of his presentation from here that rap music is not only musical expression but a social message. In order to clarify how assertive rap music is, he again compared it with other African-American music “blues” that, in his words, “we can hardly find political, social, or racial claims”. What he explained here about blues may be controversial, but it is true that rap music carries more social messages than blues." @default.
