Talking Points #6: Tricia Rose

This talking points was an interesting one to write about. I found the news clip about 'hip hop' useful to watch and as I started paying attention I took notice to the start of the clip when it is discussed that 'hip hop' is all the rage and there for is talked about less. I agree with this statement mainly because I think there are racial issues and derogatory references that go along with 'hip hop', but because it's such a large influence today society is less apt to talk about it.

Another part of the video I found interesting was the talk about what is 'hip hop'. I took notice to the fact that they acknowledge the change in 'hip hop' and culture in current times. I noticed the fact that they also acknowledge that men are supposed to be "stronger" and not notice weakness.

This news clip was one of great knowledge and I enjoyed how well spoken the professor on the clip was. She was well knowledgeable and seeing someone speak other than just reading it in an article. It helped when putting a face to the name.
