This thesis project, from April 2009, is intended to bring general understanding of the history, culture, and music of hip-hop, a genre of music that is usually associated with urban Black America.
In last month’s update, I defined what a hustler is. As an update to that, a diva is NOT the female version of a hustler. Divas are divas. Prima donnas. Female OR male. It’s an attitude, not an occupation. Diva describes how one acts, not what someone does. I can’t believe Jay-Z let Beyoncé get away with that. (July 09)
