Influence of cultural events is one qualifier, but are there other qualifiers? Is it defined by a specific beat? How does your definition differ from other types of music?
Debatable because people would argue that it is personal and more recent than cultural and over years. But, does your definition of hip hop set it apart from other genres of music? what sets it apart from country music or classical? maybe include that somewhere in there.
Very good simple definition. It is short, to the point, and easy to understand, but like what everyone else is saying, qualifiers. Why is it self expression or even why is it a genre of music if you want to be that specific.
Can you think of any more qualifiers to make your thesis stronger? its a very good simple definition, but it would make your argument stronger to add some more qualifiers.
I think you need more qualifiers because "a genre of music and a way of self expression, influenced by many cultural events over the course of the years" could be used to define any genre of music.
You need more qualifiers. Some would argue that its all personal or both cultural and personal experiences that influence hip hop. Unless you are referring to how long it takes to write a hip hop piece, you don't need to mention "over the course of the years."
This is a good definition to argue because some may argue that hip-hop doesn't have to be influenced by cultural events. The lyrics of a song could have nothing to do with experience.
Course of years- usually the music that is being written now is what is happening now.
ReplyDeleteSome may be influenced by their own experiences instead of cultural events.
ReplyDeleteCan graffiti be considered as Hip Hop or as one of its qualifiers?

ReplyDeleteI think that hip hop isn't only influenced over the course of years, add more qualifiers to your definition and it will be much stronger.

ReplyDeleteI believe you need more qualifiers, and really I don't see any counter arguments raising with your definition.

ReplyDeleteIt all seems like its a simple definition. You should add more qualifiers so it has more parts than just one whole sentence.

ReplyDeleteYou may need some more qualifiers. Also hip-hop may not only be influenced by cultural events. Just something to think about.
ReplyDeleteThis is not very debatable. It is a good simple definition, but a little more history or personal opinion may be neededfor this assignment.
