Think about these questions as you create your video: Does hip hop play a part in the decisions we make? Does hip hop have an impact on our communities (either negative, positive or maybe both)? How much of the lyrics in hip hop music do you believe? Does it promote success? Is hip hop trendy? What are the benefits and/or setbacks if any of hip hop?
