REFRESHMENTS SPOKEN WORD VIDEO
"As Hip Hop culture continues to diversify and recontextualize itself in cultures throughout the world, it remains a dynamic and complex cultural force in the US. The pop cultural impact of Hip Hop cannot be overstated; however its distortion in popular media cannot be overlooked. The commodification of this modern cultural form rooted in Black expression and born in the multicultural urban context of South Bronx has narrowed many people's perception of what Hip Hop is."
