HOW HIP-HOP HAVE INFLUENCED AMERICAN CULTURE AND SOCIETY
Hip-Hop as a Culture-Hip Hop has had an overwhelming influence on the black community in America, as well as society as a whole. Hip Hop is more than music, Hip Hop is a culture. Over the past three decades, Hip Hop has influenced and uplifted America, speaking up for generations and providing a voice to a group of people trying to deliver a message.
Music as a Technique for Promoting Social Awareness-Nevertheless, while the bases of Hip Hop opponents’ arguments are founded and reasonable, they do not in any way mitigate the overall influence of Hip Hop Nation as a notable medium of social mobility and cultural affectation, particularly for black and other such marginalized communities.
Hip-Hop Redefining Cultural Norms-Additionally, the rights given to black people during and after the Civil Rights Movement left the following generations at a loss of how to continue the fight for black rights, how to determine the more subtle forms of racism and discrimination, and how to properly answer the question of how far to push obvious political dissent. 
Hip-Hop is a Vehicle for Social Commentary and Awareness / Hip-Hop Nation-Despite heavy debate over the specific extent of Hip Hop’s ability to influence a society, the fact remains that the Hip Hop Nation developed in the nineties retains heavy cultural significance and should therefore be regarded seriously and with due consideration in any conversation about recent progressions in U.S. culture.
