Hip Hop Culture

 In 1996, I wrote "Research interest has recently emerged in the popular African-American musical idiom known as Rap and continues to grow as social and cultural scholars embark on a serious study of Rap music and culture. Therefore, the student, scholar, and general library patron may seek information on Rap and its relationship to the African-American community."* This Hip Hop Culture LibGuide lists resources related to hip-hop culture and rap music, including background information, reference sources, research databases, discography compilations, streaming music, video recordings, and Web sites.
