Document Summary
H. samy alim - created the term hiphopography. It is a research method where you go out into the community and observe people on the grounds. Colonies resented the english and secondly, the ethnographers were racially different from these communities: two types of views that arise from this study, etic - outsider"s perspective. objective norms that arise from this knowledge. When ethnographers were writing about these cultural traditions that are very important, they"ve brushed it off as something insignificant. Own personal biases and ideas are placed into the knowledge: emic - insider"s perspective. The practices and lifestyles were lived: alim"s idea is that if we want to study hip hip, we have to study on their grounds and get into their world. There was a complete contrast to what hip hop has become to what it once was: rose was writing about hip hop music with social messages.
