I don't know what it is...I think I understand it but I've learned to question everything I think I know. Why do young Nigerians emulate American culture, then turn around and bash America as a whole? Each and everyday I see teens and 20-somethings with pants hanging below their backside, loud booming music, and attitudes mixed with lingo that suggests they love many aspects about the country, yet these same people say America has no culture. They exhibit a part of American culture that has gone awry everyday. Am I missing something? While hip-hop culture may not be what I think represents African-American culture to the fullest, I still can't deny its impact and relevance these days...Young people in Nigeria remind me that hip-hop music, mostly new-age, is here to stay. How do we educate young people on African-American culture by using what they love, hip-hop, and teach them media literacy at the same time? |
