Now that we have examined the background of hip hop and discussed the four elements, let's bring the discussion into the present.
Hip hop has become a global phenomenon that has gone beyond just the music and the four elements.
For this discussion, find a news article-no older than one month-that is related to hip hop.
(A news/current events article, so no gossip: no TMZ or People magazine, for example. While many people are excited about seeing Beyoncé's twins, look for an article that is less entertainment oriented and more news oriented.)
You are not limited to national news; feel free to look at articles from around the world. Your discussion post should discuss the topic in the news article you chose and how it is connected to the historical material we have studied thus far.
Please include a link to the article.
Your discussion post must be your original thoughts. If you want to include material from outside sources, please do so sparingly and with citation.
