HIP-HOP PLANET

Assalamu'alaikum semua. Apa kabar ? pasti baik-baik aja kan ?

Pada malam jum'at berkah ini aku mau ngeshare tentang Hip-Hop Planet. Yes, it's in English ! Harusnya konten islami ya ? karena malam Jum'at. Tapi nggak tau kenapa pengen ngetik English hihihi XD

Jadi, aku cuma mau berbagi ilmu nih (eaaa, gayaku :D). Nggak ada maksud apa-apa kok, hehe. Aku cuma mau kalian baca tulisan ini, lumayanlah bisa sekalian belajar bahasa Inggris. Dengan ngebaca hal-hal atau tulisan bahasa Inggris, menurutku kita bakalan lebih tertantang untuk mempelajarinya. Walaupun mungkin bahasa Inggris tidak disukai oleh semua orang, ya setidaknya tau apa maksud dari tulisan tersebut saja sudah cukup kok :)

Dulu, aku kalau baca bahasa Inggris dan nggak tau artinya pasti bakalan nyari dulu arti kata tersebut sampai ngerti apa maksud tulisan itu, walaupun sekarang udah mulai males sih....

Aku berharap dengan baca tulisan ini, setidaknya nambah satu atau dua vocab yang bisa kalian ngerti. Ya, minimal nambah pemahaman dan pengetahuan aja deh <3

Oke, let's start !

Hip-hop started in New York city in the 1970s. Today, many countries have their own local hip-hopscenes. Artists from different backgrounds rap about everything from cars and designer clothes to social issues. Here are two examples.

Dakar, Senegal

Assane N'Diaye, 19, loves hip-hop music. He grew up in a small fishing village in Senegal. For a time, he was populer as a DJ in clubs in Dakar, the capital city of Senegal.

Today, Assane  lives in his village again. He has formed a rap grouph with other family members. They rap about their lives as village fishermen, and about working long, hard days and earning almost no money. Many people in their audience can understand these things. "Rap," Assane says, "doesn't belong to American culture. It belongs here. It has always existed here, because of our pain and our hardships..."

Assane dreams of making a CD and having a better life. Despite his hardships, the music give Assane hope.

The Czech Republic

Europe is home to 8-12 million Roma-a group of people often called 'gypsies". Many Roma are poor. In some Places, they also face discrimination.

Now some Roma teenagers are using hip-hop to teach tolerance. In the Czech republic, Roma teens meet for a hip-hop class called "Rap for Peace Hip-Hop." Their instructor is Shameema Williams. She is a member of the all-female rap group Godessa, from South Africa.

In the lessons, the teens learn to write rap music and use it to teach others about Roma culture. These teens, Shameema believes, can use the music to change their lives and other people's attitudes. "Use your creative energy and see what the posibilities are"," she says.
