[Hip or not; some may find this recent article of interest -- too. -af] + + + + + Hip Hop Hysteria By Salim Muwakkil, In These Times January 7, 2003 http://www.alternet.org/story.html?StoryID=14900 <!--last two paragraphs--> "The Eminem saga is yet another lesson about the potential power of hip hop. Like the legion of other whites, Asians and Latinos who embrace hip hop, Eminem has a relationship with black culture that is so far removed from racist traditions that it creates new possibilities. That's the promise of hip hop: creating new possibilities. This musical genre dreamed up on the streets of New York has become one of the planet's most powerful and enthusiastically embraced forces of globalization. If hip hop's originators can harness just a portion of the genre's creative power to address the issues that uniquely beset them, hip hop can redeem its promise." # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: majordomo@bbs.thing.net and "info nettime-l" in the msg body # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nettime@bbs.thing.net
