[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Explorer: [QB] ^It is fairly difficult for Muslim communities, who have traditionally been integrated into American society [they spoke English along with any primary language, if there was any, and even generally dressed in the fashion of the mainstream; the only thing that probably distinguished them from what is dubbed "mainstream", was how they practiced their religion, assuming the individuals were of the religious kind], under current circumstances and air of xenophobia, especially post 9/11. [QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness: Hip Hop while similar to griots of Africa and African drumming is still American.[/QUOTE]Define "American drumming". [QUOTE] It is lyrically oriented and sung in English.[/QUOTE]Being sung in English suddenly makes a music "American"? I suppose British sung songs are "American"? [QUOTE] The melodic parts that are mixed in are based on Western harmony.[/QUOTE]Define "western harmony". The last time I checked, Hip Hop wasn't around when America was a British colony. How did it become the product of "western harmony". [QUOTE] Hip Hop music did not originate in Africa. It originated in the South Bronx and had influence from African rhythm. It's primarily American.[/QUOTE]Actually, it derives from Raga/Reggae toasting, which took hold especially during the ushering of the electronic era of reggae. [QUOTE] Because we were forcibly disconnected from our African heritage we are in a way more American the European descended people.[/QUOTE]I suspect that you were trying to say "more American than the European descended people". If so, what does it mean, to be "more American"? [/QB][/QUOTE]
