How to Approach Hip-Hop

The piece, entitled "What is Hip-Hop?" gives the listener an overall sense that the producers treat the concept and topic of Hip-Hop as a joke. We believe Hip-Hop is a form of art that expresses how people feel and what they go through. The tone of the piece makes it appear as if the interviewers don't even listen to Hip-Hop. To start, the opening and closing song is irrelevant to the topic of discussion because the background song is R&B music. What we think the interviewer could have done is to ask more perceptive questions, or a series of questions in order to get deeper answers. Also, the interviewer didn't sound like she was knowledgeable herself about Hip-Hop. It sounds like her questions may have been looped, which made her sound dull and mundane. Perhaps the piece could have been better if she asked different questions like "Do you like Hip-Hop?" followed by "Why do you like Hip-Hop?" It sounds like the interviewees have no idea what Hip-Hop truly stands for. The interviewees and producers should slap on some Hip-Hop music themselves before trying to define Hip-Hop.
