For some people, hip hop is a rebellious form of music that promotes violence and hate. Despite
this, hip hop has gained in popularity and now has a huge fan base around the world. But does its
reputaion only represent one side of the story? You don’t have to dig deep to see the positive
effects that hip hop has had on its listeners.
An example of the unlikely positive effects of hip hop is the fact that, although it originally
developed withing the African-American community, seventy-five percent of the hip hop
audience is non-African. This shows that it has enabled millions of young people across the
world to identify with each other. Hip hop has also played an important role in promoting social
and political awareness. Many teenagers have been encouraged to discuss social issues such as
education, voting, and racial discrimination.
Teenagers have also found positive role models in hip hop music. Many hip hop artists come
from a poor background and their success stories are a great source of motivation to teenagers
who would appear to have few opportunities in life. It inspires them to go after their dreams and
do something constructive with their lives.
