Jay ford noted,” You are a part of the hip hop era.” This means that hip-hop is everywhere and in everything that you do. There are three reasons why I think that Jay Ford said this. The first reason is that hip-hop music has spread all over the world. Second, hip hop isn’t just in music, but it is in fashion too. Third, the movie and game industry are starting to combine movies and video games with hip hop.
Everybody have listen to hip hop music before. It is played everywhere in CD stores, Laundromats, even in offices. When you walk outside to the streets in the morning, you would hear hip-hop music playing from someone’s radio across the street. When you get on the bus or taxi, the drivers would usually turn their radio loud. Even in elevators, you would still be able to listen to hip-hop. Because of our advance technology, people are even able to list to music when they receive a call from their cell phone. Clearly, people who list to music are classified as a part of the hip-hop era.
Not only music but fashion is also formed from hip hop. Where do you think baggy pants came from? And all those brand name clothing like Timberland, FuBu and Rocawear. If you go to ant high school or junior high that doesn’t require you to wear a uniform, you would see that the majority of the students are wearing hip hop clothing like baggy pants and band names like FuBu. Not only students wear FuBu and baggy pants but some adults still wear baggy pants too. I consider myself to be a part of the fashion hip hop era because I like the hip hop style. So, if you like to wear baggy pants and brand names like Timberland, you are also consider to be part of the hip hop era.
If you are playing video games or watching movies, you also part of the hip-hop era. Millions of people probably watch and play video games everyday. Movies like eight miles and honey are watched by millions of people all over the word. Both of these movies shows hip-hop music and hip hop dance like Break Dance, Running man and Robocop. The video game industry and hip-hop stars are combining to create new games like Vice City, DJ Nights and Def Jam. Dreamcaste also came out with a game that the goal is to design your own band and music. If you love to play these games and watch these movies, you are considered to be part of the hip-hop era too.
In conclusion, I agree with Jay Ford’s quote that everyone are apart of the hip hop era because music are listened everywhere, fashion are part of the hip hop world and the video games industry are combining with hip hop.
