Whatever your ethnic background, I’m sure at some point in your life, you’ve been a part of a conversation on social media about cultural appropriation. The dialogue surrounding this topic is nuanced. They can span from a respectful discourse to debates that turn heated, with points of view that are typically influenced by the “race” you identify with.
As discussed in this excerpt of #themathfiles with @MathematicsWU , @sigdatrig and @FLiTvVOD, Hip Hop needs to develop a better understanding of where to draw the line between cultural appropriation and cultural appreciation. The failure to discern between the two on behalf of some who fear Hip Hop culture is being “conquered” by non-blacks is causing a split between fans and artists alike, who prior to Hip Hop celebrating its “50th year,” didn’t realize there was even a problem.
The major contrast between appropriation and appreciation comes down to RESPECT, not blood lineage.
APPRECIATION
If the DJ, Rapper, Breaker or Graff Writer is inherently curious about the origins of what they do, study the particular Hip Hop element they like to interact with as much as possible and dispense credit to the DJs, Rappers, Breakers or Graff Writers that came before them, they should not be accused of appropriation. Regardless of “race,” ethnicity, color or economic class.
APPROPRIATION
It’s those who exploit the privilege of monetizing Hip Hop culture, while at the same time ignoring its origins, that are the true CULTURE VULTURES. Here are some examples.
1. The record label owners who sign an “artist” posing as a rapper to a record deal.
2. The influencer who decides to buy a controller and adapts DJing because it’s the “in thing” to do.
3. The booking agent that suddenly takes an interest in adding Hip Hop DJs to their talent roster because they see an opportunity to make money.
In Hip Hop, the distinction between appreciation and appropriation boils down to one’s purpose. Are you trying to empower and honor the historical value of the culture, or profit from it.
If you ask me, Rick Rubin (Def Jam) has historically approached Hip Hop with humility, respect and curiosity. I can’t say the same for Puff Daddy (Bad Boy).
