dbo:abstract
  • Progressive rap (or progressive hip hop) is a broad subgenre of hip hop music that aims to progress the genre thematically with socially transformative ideas and musically with stylistic experimentation. Developing through the works of innovative US hip hop acts during the 1980s and 1990s, it has also been known at various points as conscious, underground, and alternative hip hop. Progressive rap music critically examines social issues, political responsibility, and existential concerns, particularly in the context of African-American life and youth culture. Common themes include social injustice, inequality, status, identity, and religion, with discourses around ideologies such as Afrocentricity and Black religiosity. Unlike the genre's more commercially-dominant counterpart gangsta rap, prog-rap artists typically disavow intracultural violence and economic materialism in favor of constructive and educational responses such as consciousness, uplift, heritage, humor, and activism. Productions in the genre often take on avant-garde approaches and wide-ranging influences, such as jazz, rock, and soul. Examples have included the works of De La Soul, Fugees, Outkast, Kendrick Lamar, and Joey Bada$$. The music of such acts, especially in the 21st century, has impacted the mainstream sensibilities of hip hop while countering racist stereotypes pervasive in Western popular culture. (en)
  • Прогрессивный рэп или прогрессивный хип-хоп — это широкий поджанр хип-хоп музыки, целью которого является тематическое развитие жанра с помощью социально преобразующих идей и музыкальных стилистических экспериментов. Развиваясь благодаря творчеству новаторских американских хип-хоп исполнителей в 1980-х и 1990-х годах, он также был известен в разное время как осознанный, и альтернативный хип-хоп. Прогрессивная рэп-музыка критически рассматривает социальные проблемы, политическую ответственность и экзистенциальные проблемы, особенно в контексте афроамериканской жизни и молодёжной культуры. Общие темы включают социальную несправедливость, неравенство, статусность, идентичность и религию, с дискурсами вокруг таких идеологий, как афроцентризм и религиозность чернокожих. В отличие от более коммерчески доминирующего аналога жанра гангста-рэп, исполнители прог-рэпа обычно отрицают внутрикультурное насилие и экономический материализм в пользу конструктивных и образовательных реакций, таких как сознание, возвышение, наследие, юмор и активизм. Производственная часть в этом жанре часто использует авангардные подходы и разнообразные музыкальные влияния, как то джаз, рок и соул. Примерами могут служить работы De La Soul, The Fugees, Outkast, Канье Уэста и Кендрика Ламара. Музыка таких выступлений, особенно в XXI веке, повлияла на основные чувства хип-хопа, одновременно противодействуя расистским стереотипам, широко распространённым в западной популярной культуре. (ru)

  • While progressive hip-hop culture functions as the voice of resistance for America's black youth, it also provides a blueprint for the possibilities of social change and has been utilized as a politicizing tool to inform youth about significant social problems. (en)
  • I was so stupid, fighting for a block that I didn't even own, getting shot at and being near a lot of my friends when they got killed. I got lucky, because God felt like that wasn't my true role. I'm not gonna rap about that, like a lot of other rappers do in the name of 'keeping it real.' If you went through Vietnam and have flashbacks, you don't always want to talk about that stuff. I just want to live, be happy and chill. (en)
  • They're not watering themselves down with the mainstream. They're strengthening their influence from within, and it's making people believe in what they're saying and what they're doing and look their way. (en)
