Fashion
• Clothing was very influential and a big part of hip hop’s social and cultural impact
• From baggy shirts, jeans and jerseys to designers• Brands such as Ralph Lauren, Clavin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger all gained an
economic boost• This changed hip hop as it redefined masculinity and showed a decrease in
homophobia• Artists would express their masculinity through violence and intimidating and
this shifted to flaunting their wealth and entrepreneurship. This led to an emergence of rapper branding. E.g, A$AP, Kanye, Run DMC, Wu-tang, Odd Future etc.
• Artists became trend setters and trend starters• It was open to the minority and majority group• Minority: Who could aspire to be like them and related to their struggle• Majority group: Who never had the full understanding of their struggle

KRS ONE – Sound of Da Police
(Verse One)
Stand clear, Don man a-talk
You can’t stand where I stand, you can’t walk where I walk
Watch out, we run New York
Policeman come, we bust him out the park
I know this for a fact, you don’t like how I act
You claim I’m sellin’ crack but you be doin’ that
I’d rather say “see ya” cause I would never be ya
Be an officer, you wicked overseer
Ya hotshot, wanna get props and be a savior
First show a little respect, change your behaviour
Change your attitude, change your plan
There could never really be justice on stolen land
Are you really for peace and equality
Or when my car is hooked up, you know you wanna follow me
Your laws are minimal
Cause you wont even think about lookin’ at the real criminal
This has got to cease
Cause we be getting hyped to the sound of da police

A Tribe Called Quest - Midnight(Verse one)
See, Jake be gettin illy when the sun get dark
He be coming out for heads but shit don’t let me start
There’s activities a-plenty in the nighttime
For the ghetto child it seem to be the right time
See, kids be getting stuck with jewels and fly gimmicks
Shorty see the action and then start to mimic
Running to the corner, the dice game is blazing
Looking at the loot, it seems so amazing
Puts the short down, to be exact one pound
He shakes the stones in his hand, then he lets it down
Scared money don’t make none
He threw a trick on the ace now he’s out son
Hits the local bodega to wolf down a gyro
Son is a midnight run like De Niro

The Fugees – The Beast(Verse one)
[Lauryn]
Conflicts with night sticks
Illegal sales districts
Hand-picked lunatics, keep poli-trick-cians rich
Heretics push narcotics amidst its risks and frisks
Cool cliques throw bricks but seldom hit targets
Private-DIC sell hits, like porno-flicks do chicks
The 666 cut W.I.C like Newt Gingrich SUCKS DICK
Chanel Jimenez
Queen Latifah – U.N.I.T.Y(Verse One)
Instinct leads me to another flow
Everytime I hear a brother call a girl a bitch or a hoe
Trying to make a sister feel low
You know all of that gots to go
Now everybody knows there’s exceptions to this rule
Now don’t be getting mad, when we playing, it’s cool
But don’t you be calling out my name
I bring wrath to those who disrespect me like a dame
That’s why I’m talking, one day I was walking down the block
I had my cutoff shorts on right cause it was crazy hot
I walked past these dudes when they passed me
One of ‘em felt my booty, he was nasty
I turned around red, somebody was catching the wrath
Then the little one said (Yeah me bitch) and laughed
Since he was with his boys he tried to break fly
Huh, I punched him dead in the eye and said “Who you calling a bitch?”

Response: Gangsta Rap• Describing the reality of inner-city life• Saying things some people were afraid to say, e.g victims of police brutality• They didn’t want to appear as anti-American or anti-Government• Some of the rappers didn’t live these lives, they’re just giving awareness for others
who have• Emotions and perspective of marginalised people: black people in underprivileged
neighbourhoods• So they could no longer be in fear that they were not going to be silenced
• Now we have trap music.
