Hip-Hop Artistic Expressions


My Hip-hop dancer, my nephew



The literary world is changing around us everyday.  We have up and coming new artists who shares their talents with us so that we may appreciate it.  Every artist expresses himself or herself in differently.  We have poets, writers, musicians, painters and the list can go on.

I am from the older generation where Poets for example are Robert Frost, Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson and many more.  I feel the world’s younger generation cannot relate to these types of poetry or literature so they are expressing their artistic abilities through hip-hop music.

Jeff Chang who is known in San Francisco started off as their hip-hop journalists.  He believes that hip-hop music and their lyrics is more of keeping it genuine with for our younger generation to relate too.  Hip-hop music can be considered a trend of the artist’s opinions and America’s culture with our younger people.  It is more common to see hip-hop artists wearing or using lines from the artist’s lyrics in their daily vocabulary.

I need to keep an open mind to our younger generation feelings and their artistic talents for this is their turn to come out and shine.
