St. James Encyclopedia of Hip Hop Culture

Description

The St. James Encyclopedia of Hip Hop Culture presents more than 200 entries that examine the history and contributions of hip hop to American and global culture. It provides academic and public libraries with a much-needed authoritative reference resource defining, exploring, and analyzing this significant aspect of culture and history. Hip hop culture is studied within countless disciplines at the university level, including history, sociology, anthropology, business, marketing, design, and of course music, dance, and art. Hip hop is being incorporated into K-12 curriculum as well, to engage students in learning English language arts, history, and even science. And hip hop is included in programing at large public libraries like Queens Library, honoring its local history and culture with â 8 Days of Nonstop Hip Hopâ in May 2015. The Schomburg Center (NYPL) hosted â First Friday â Hip Hopâ editionâ in May 2016, with similar programming at other urban libraries engaging their communities. Entries in the work discuss the music (rap and DJing), dance (breakdancing), and visual arts (graffiti) that are the artistic expressions of hip hop culture, and feature the people, places, events, and works that started the movement and established hip hop as a global phenomenon. Entries also examine hip hopâ s influence in other artistic arenas such as fashion, film, and poetry; its impact on education, polit Front Cover Title Page Copyright Advisory Board Contents Editor's Note Introduction List of Entries Thematic Outline A Activism Adidas Advertising And Marketing Aerosol Art African Hip Hop Africentricism Afrika Bambaataa Afrofuturism Akas All Eyez On Me Alter Egos Alternative Rap Answer Records Anti-Apartheid Movement In Hip Hop Asian Hip Hop Atlanta Authenticity Auto-Tune B B-Boy, B-Girl Backpack Backspin Bad Boy Records Battle, Battling The Bay Area Beastie Boys Beat Makers Beat Street Beatboxing Beef Bilingual Rap Black Nationalism Blaxploitation Bling Boogie Down Productions Boom Bap Boom Box Bounce The Box Breakbeat DJing Breakdancing Bronx River Community Center Business Models Busta Rhymes C Campbell, Luther "Luke" Capitalism And Hip Hop Cartoons Cash Money Records Censorship Chap Hop Chicago Christian Rap The Chronic Chuck D "Close The Crackhouse” The Cold Crush Brothers Collectives Combs, Sean Comics Commercial Hip Hop Common Conscious Hip Hop Conzo, Joe, Jr. Crate Digging Crew Cribs Criminal Minded Crossfader Crunk, Crunking Culture Wars Cypher D Dapper Dan De La Soul Death Row Records Def Def Jam Recordings Dirty South Disco Fever DJ Kool Herc DJing The Dozens Dr. Dre Drill Rap Drugs And Hip Hop Dungeon Family E Early Hip Hop Venues East Coast Rap East Coast–West Coast Wars Education 8 Mile 808 Drum Machine Electoral Politics Electro-Hop Elliott, Missy Emceeing Eminem Entrepreneurialism Eric B.
