Sorry but this guy in the first article is a clown:
"'Hip Hop' culture was also comprised of graffiti, break dancing, and the
attitude and dress of the people who subscribed to the mores and traditions
of this subculture"
1. What about DJ'ing?
2. Why is this in the past tense?
3. "break dancing" was a commercial marketing term for "BBoying".
"It is even evident today that some graffiti writers are still into writing
their tag names by walking through any neighborhood in New York, or in fact
by even walking through certain sections of New Haven. One activity I plan
on having my students to do is to canvas the Fair Haven neighborhood looking
for graffiti tag names written on buildings, sidewalks, etc. It might be
difficult for students to find out who these graffiti artists are in their
neighborhood because it is part of the graffiti writers' code not to reveal
their real names except to other graffiti writers."
No comment. This guy is a tool.
