Hip hop has become one of the most commercially promoted and financially successful forms of media in recent years. But as its profits have increased, it has become a scapegoat for much of the public criticism aimed at young black men. These topics were discussed in Tricia Rose's novel "The Hip Hop Wars What We Talk About - And Why It Matters". The status of hip hop fell because the trinity of commercial hip hop became the main topic and caused a lot of controversy. This book is aimed at anyone who wants to know how hip hop has changed over the past decade and highlights many different attitudes towards hip hop in the United States. “The Hip Hop Wars, What We're Talking About and Why It Matters” by Tricia Rose explores what hip hop has done to society in recent years and what people think it has caused. Although it has become one of the most commercially successful genres in mainstream music, Tricia Rose explains that the topics in hip hop music have narrowed. Commercial hip hop is mostly made up of black gangstas, thugs, pimps and whores. In the book he examines the different points of view of people who think about whether hip hop invokes violence or whether it reflects life in a black ghetto and whether it slows the progress of African Americans in the United States. The author goes back and forth with the mass opinion on hip hop, she says that people see hip hop as heavy metal-like music that people associate with violence, but she refutes most of these points by showing the positive aspects of hip hop. Hip hop came from Afro-Caribbean and African-American groups in the Bronx. These musicians combined different musical genres and used the traditions of their own culture to approach the music. Hip Hop in the beginning of its time was more of an art... middle of the paper... usually deals with the time period that Hip Hop took place in and the many historical factors that are real .Hip hop is a culture, it is a way that many people use to connect with each other, it has allowed many African Americans to express their point of view in their history. But in the early 2000s it became commercialized and went from narrating from many perspectives such as a party, politics, self-congratulation and gangsters to mainly consisting of the lives of hustlers, pimps and whores. Although it has become quite profitable and a successful form of music, there is debate in America as to whether it is more harmful than beneficial to the black community. Hip hop is indeed in crisis and critics of hip hop believe that it is just angry stories of black males and females, but they don't see it as proof that black behavior was created by living in a ghetto..
