Description / Abstract
I have analyzed some of the psycho-social dynamics within mainstream hip-hop music and film in an attempt to reveal the need to begin examining these representations on a consistent basis within the domains of the African American church. By using the works of scholars like Henry Giroux, Todd Boyd, Yvonne Bynoe, Bakari Kitwana, S. Craig Watkins, and Michael Eric Dyson, I revealed the complexity of forces that impact commercial hip-hop’s representation of the young black self and have argued that the church needs to provide pedagogical space to engage this cultural dynamic if it is going to meet the needs and concerns of the hip-hop generation and if it is going to help bring about freedom and healing within individual lives.
