About this Program
This section will acknowledge the ways in which Hip Hop interacts with media and technology in positive and negative ways. We will pay homage to the early Black-owned/centered media outlets, such as magazines and TV shows that showcased Hip Hop culture. Panel discussions may acknowledge “stan” culture, methods of distribution (records, cassettes, CDs, devices, streaming), and concerts. This section may also include the political side of media and technology, such as brand deals, cancel culture, gossip blogs, internet “beef”, and more.
