Help.
David Brooks, writing in the New York Times in 2005 about riots in French housing projects, says, “In a globalized age it’s perhaps inevitable that the culture of resistance gets globalized, too. What we are seeing is what Mark Lilla of the University of Chicago calls a universal culture of the wretched of the earth. The images, modes and attitudes of hip hop and gangsta rap are so powerful they are having a hegemonic effect across the globe.” How does that view of hip hop compare to McBride’s? Do you think McBride would agree with Brooks? Explain why or why not.

McBride and Brooks' views agree with the power of influence that Hip Hop possesses. In that case, we can recognize that McBride would agree with Brooks.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • McBride begins his text complaining about the lack of meaning and musicality in hip hop.
  • He makes it clear that this is not a musical style he likes, on the other hand, he spent a lot of time criticizing hip hop and claiming that it produced gangsters and rowdies.
  • However, over the years, he recognized that Hip Hop has a great power to influence young people and can alert them to combat the current problems of society.

According to McBride, hip hop and its culture can be very promising, organizing young people and guiding them to social issues that must be addressed. This is in line with Brooks' perception that Hip Hop can spur change around the world.
