Ethnography on hip hop

This is an ethnography on hip hop and the seven parts that make up hip hop.

Sound:

In Hip Hop the sound that makes it up are drums(sampled), bass and lyrics. In hip-hop, some of the musical element are sampled from other songs. Mostly from jazz and/or funk songs. An example of this is Nas N.Y. State of mind and Kool and the gang N.T.

(start at 5:29)

In the Nas track, he uses the drum part of the Kool and the gang song where all the other instruments of the songs we' silent and the only thing playing were the drums. In the Kool & the gang song, the drums are for sure complex and rhythmical. the sounding of the drums  quite strong and hard which keeps it rhythmical.

visual:

With Hip Hop, some have a unique style to them or similar depending on the area the was brought up but most are street clothes.

most hip hop artists either where a hoodie something to cover their head like a cap(some) they also have chains around their with jeans and trainers. For Hip Hop artists this is their sense of  own personality. a way to pick them out from others and truly stand out to others.

Technology:

Equipment used in Hip Hop are mostly turntables which were used to sample parts of a song and loop that part mostly drums breaks. This shapes the sound by taking one element from one type of music and changing it to a totally different music used for the purpose of Hip Hop.

  

Mediatic:

Hip Hop was mostly was heard live on the street by a DJ with his turntables. Now, it can be heard live events gigs some with a DJ still but some also just have a band with them while they perform. Hip Hop is mostly heard online recorded by the artists. Also, a website for Hip Hop only where all hip hop genre related is showed on there. this is the website called world star hip hop.

Temporal:

One Hip Hop isn't as long as a 1-hour symphony it's least the 3 to 6 minutes long. A whole album is 40 minutes long with lots os small 3-6 minutes long song. the reason for is the is would probably be too much listen to the same song for an hour.

Corporeal:

Hip Hop contagious to whoever sits and listens to it. Frist, the grove with start at your feet making tap them to the grove. after that, the beat kicks in and it makes its way to your head, next minute you're nodding your head to it. as the song goes on and you hear the lyrics of the chorus a few time you'll start singing along to it and even dance to it.

Discursive:

Hip Hop main topic is in society and how they have been treat by the society around their area. most artists talk about the things around them that need change. it can also be used as a political way of getting their point across making it a freedom of expression.
