Hip Hop as a culture has influenced the world. According to Land and Stovall (2009) hip hop began in the late 1970s, and is a billion dollar, international industry which involves music, clothing, break dancing, electronics, media, and DJs. The culture has become a way of life for many young people. This lecture, led by Professor Rondae Drafts, Ph.D.abd, will focus on Hip Hop TODAY. Kenrick Lamar and Drake— Where’s the Beef? Kendrick Lamar and Drake have been involved in a public feud, with each artist making accusations against each other and releasing diss tracks.
