The Hip-Hop Generation Chunk #3

The Hip-Hop Generation Chunk #3 is about confronting the crise of African American culture and the problems that are facing the "hip-hop generationers" in America. Bakari Kitwana discusses about the aspect of social responsibility, politics, and cultural significance and how hip-hop has affected it lyrically and socially. This is during a time where "hip-hop generationers" are being held socially accountable for their actions, are seen as important figures in society, and seen as role models for the youth. He makes references to criticism of hi-hop lyrics by prominent black leaders, especially C. Delores Tucker, and the divide between "hip-hop generationers" and their civil rights generation parents. The audience can be both generationers and can be a way for understanding between both. The purpose of this chunk was to discuss the impact hip-hop has had in the 90's and 00's and the how hip-hop music has affected the political climate of that time.
