Ideology I think is the set of ideas and principles that go into a person that helped define their worldview. Hip-hop is like any other genre of music. Of course, it has various levels, stages, and styles of music. Intertextually basically representing a kind of emotional. I cannot escape of textuality. Also, all the songs in hip-hop are transmitting a message, and the community is involved. Hip-hop is the overall music genre and culture and art form that includes singing, dancing and other aspects. I got confuse about rap and hip-hop, but I think that hip-hop doesn’t need to have any rap in it to be consider hip-hop. I feel like the impact of hip-hop music it is very strong. People agree and disagree with hip-hop, there are many who contend it nothing more than against hip-hop. However, there are other who are not agree with them a basically consider hip hop to be a voice of the community. Hip-hop is connecting with religions and music has always played a central role in beliefs, serving as a voice for people’s emotions, and feelings, and expressions.

I think that Perry’s interrogation of hip-hop is largely oriented towards rhetoric and I think that relates to understanding of gender. Hip-hop tended to get a little more attention in comparison to the other genres of music. I would like to highlight that lyrics seemed to be more violently partially because of the environment. Also, critics of hip-hop tended to interpret lyrics literally base on whatever they heard through the speakers.

- The history behind the music - Inspiration of a generation -Self-definition -The voice of black males -Economic politics of the music industry - “There are many players who hate the fact that we do this foe love” -Interpret -The old school is consistently celebrated in hip hop even as the music becomes exponentially more sophisticated particularly among independent artist more polished, and higher sound quality. - As the commodification and commercialization comes along with mainstream appeal threatens notions of community and authenticity in hip hop.

-Nostalgia -Symbolically meaningful

- Black music forms - Self-conscious incomprehensibility of hiphop lyricism - Ablution of language is to write clearly one more incessantly prune, eliminate, forbid, purge, purify. - One of the areas of hip hop that offers a very interesting ideological move is attention to the ancestors. -The sensual description makes tangible an existence romanticized yet quite emotional and symbolically meaningful. - Listeners who are not members of the black community will mot often possess such collective memory and will be less likely to intuitively understand the intertextuality of hip hop. -Richard Delgado and Jean Stefancic have argued when speaking of the potential of liberatory speech for colored peoples in a First Amendment context. Pp 49 - The mind and its capacity have transcendent powers in the face of dire streets. - Many members of the hip-hop generation have chosen instead to appropriated and exploit those constructions as metaphoric tools for expressing power. -The historic construction of blackness in opposition to whiteness, in which blackness is demonized, has became part of the art form’s consciousness.

-Hip hop realism is filled with metaphors and metonyms of existence that trouble

listeners or commentators from a wide range of political. - The “cultural nationalism” period of hip hop on the one side, and the “gangsta” period on the other perfectly embody Johnson’s two responses to white supremacist America. - Hip hop’s audience we have to wonder whether this democratic space simply provides a window through which negative values can be transmitted to our children. -Develop a cognizance within multiple layers of the black community, and the external community of listeners, both child and adult, of the distinctions between and tensions within art and ideology. -The enunciative dynamic in hip hop allows for ideological struggle while simultaneously acknowledging identification with Americanism. -The concept of membership is important to maintaining the racial and cultural identify of hip hop. -Hip hop not only manifest a tension between art and ideology but the ideology present in the art frequently responds to the complicated politics of race in America. -As black music, hip hop, with this tension between ideology and art, present a serios challenge. - The musical memory for the listeners forms part of the new musical experience....
