Hip-Hop came from New York 19 Centuries 60’s.From the word Hip-Hop can we know the meaning which is like dance. Hip-Hop just has been through so many years ,nowadays,Hip-Hop is becoming a sort of attitude, fashion ,music and sport so on.
Hip-Hop was came from street. Black people have no a truly better life than most white people, they are living in the ghetto ,or we can say hood. They have no enough money to pay the ticket for club, so they are dancing on the street, t hey have no money to play basketball in the park, so they are playing on the street ,they are also like to singing on the street ,so many elements was combined then to be the Hip-Hop.
Jeanguy on the stage
“To me ,Hip-Hop is really important. Especially the music, which we call rap.”Jeanguy Said.
“A rap has beat ,sometimes it also has some DJ scratching. Rap has so many genre, which are gangster, hardcore, old school and west side or east side. Everybody think that rap is full of sex ,cash and violence but they have no seen the essence of rap.”
Jeanguy is a black guy who intends to be a rapper, he focus on it so hard, concentrate his spirits in every single second. “A famous rapper Eminem who only had 2 dollars in the Christmas day before he came to be famous but he ain’t quit ,he was trying so hard, finally he got a shot, he seized that opportunity. Now he is a billionaire.”Jeanguy is just like Eminem ,he left France for China to hold Hiphop shows in Dalian, he now works in Beijing.
Show time
Mentioned the influence of Hiphop to our lives, he gives me three points.
- Dressing style
In China,You can see more and more teenagers wearing loose T – shirt and jeans, a pair of cool basketball shoes and a hiphop cap on his head. The hip-hop culture lovers and others formed a sharp contrast.
Those who like hip-hop music people often hold a negative attitude towards China-pop and K-pop. They always like the songs full of the strong rhythm, emotions.
- Attitude to life
Most of them pursue hedonism and gratification, like to live in the present .Express the dissatisfaction to the social problems as they realize there is one.
In the end, Jeanguy told me:“Hip-Hop has changed people’s live and it has a extremely big impact to us. If you all think that Hip-Hop is dressed ridiculous and it is all about negative things, you are all wrong. Dressed like a Hip-Hop or act like a Hip-Hop that does not mean anything ,Hip-Hop is more about what is the way which you are going to take that can make your life diffirently and more better. No matter what is the issues ,you will confront it,never and ever surrender to it .Anyway, Hip-Hop may not means so much to you but it surely means to much to me.”
