[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness: [QB] Jari, pipe down, THE Explorer agrees with me that African Americans are not the least assimilated group as MK was fantasizing. Explorer is infallible On this other point, it seems to me that being a Muslim is not being fully assimilated into American culture which is Christian based. A Muslim American could be assimilated in other ways but their being a Muslim is not one of the assimilated elements. Although America does allow freedom of religion and has a wide diversity. Hip Hop while similar to griots of Africa and African drumming is still American. It is lyrically oriented and sung in English. From the language alone it is largely American/English. The lyrical content is based primarily about life in America. The melodic parts that are mixed in are based on Western harmony. The sampling techniques and production are not traditional. Hip Hop music did not originate in Africa. It originated in the South Bronx and had influence from African rhythm. It's primarily American. Because we were forcibly disconnected from our African heritage we are in a way more American the European descended people. Of course in the truest sense the native "Americans" are the true Americans (but with the original tribal names) [/QB][/QUOTE]
