Hip-Hop Music From The Orient: "ᑕᒪOᔕEᖇ 2 GOᗪ" - The Narcicyst X DJ Lethal Skillz | Throwback'¢ℓσѕєя 2 gσ∂'| Arabic | Conscious | Political | Hip-Hop| Rap |Arabic Hip Hop and Politics
Arab hip-hop artists revive the politically conscious sub genre of hip-hop in order to normalize their Arab existence. Appropriating hip-hop for a cultural protest, Arab artists create for themselves a sub-genre of hip-hop conscious - Arab hip-hop and function as organic intellectuals of Gramsci, involved in a better representation of Arabs in the mainstream. Criticizing the power dynamics, Arab hip-hop artists are counter-hegemonic in questioning the popular identity constructions of the Arabs and reveal to the parties of the audience the media production and opportunities for progress towards social justice. Their (re) constructions identity keeps the difference while avoiding otherness. The intersection of the Arab consciousness through hip-hop and the politics of identity requires a necessary cultural protest, which, in the case of the Arabs, has been severely limited.
