How to structure this essay: In a short introductory paragraph, explain the issues concerning authenticity and/or how colorblindness is affecting the racial dynamics of hip-hop culture appreciation. Quote from BOTH the Performing Blackness article AND the Color-Blind Ideology readings (required). After your explanation, write the essay addressing the prompt below: Explain how one of these films, La Haine, Feel the Noise, 8 Mile or Bringing Down the House shows the impact of themes or characters detached or not detached from racial issues and original African American hip-hop culture. Be specific in terms of the movie you have chosen and be detailed, starting with a thesis. Explain why, in your view, how the movie maintains either detachment or connection with black concerns and explain why this does or does not matter in our contemporary world. Justify your reasonings throughout your paper by comparing characters, situations, mise en scene, etc. as appropriate. In this assignment, you must use one new article that you find on your own in addition to the ones mentioned above. Remember these films are NOT reality nor is this essay about denying the reality that people of different races or groups exchange musical influences. The point of the essay is to look at what happens or does not happen when music is or is not detadetached from the original black creators. Your job is to use academic writings and your own interpretations to produce an essay that analyze words, themes, mise en scene as they project beliefs.
