While this blog was initially setup to gather and collect data that could reflect a cyber-fieldwork for a "unofficial anthropology" of hip-hop (which will continue), I also want to begin a sub-series within this line of reasoning on the intersections of religion and hip-hop. I have already made a few blog posts that play on this interface but wanted to make a more conscientious focus on gathering representations within hip-hop culture that make this connection more explicit. Not only will I begin looking for this interface in music but in the other areas of hip-hop culture as well. Furthermore, there will also be an attempt to look for online discussions about this topic of religion and hip-hop.
The themes for this series will include the incorporation of religion in hip-hop culture, the incorporation of hip-hop in religious culture, and thirdly the question of whether we can consider hip-hop
as a religion.
The series will be noted "religion and hip-hop" as a label to the posts (I will be going back adding this label), and hopefully I can keep it going.
