Hip-Hop: The Medium of Urban Youth.

The article discusses hip-hop as the medium of urban youth in the U.S. According to the author, hip hop is a culture of expression and the beauty of hip-hop culture is that it affords people who have limited resources the opportunity to make something out of nothing. The author said that educators in the youth media field need to value and use hip-hop music as one of the most relevant and persuasive digital storytelling formats available to urban America and educators must emphasize ways to resist conforming to the genre's recognizable format and the mainstream's stereotype of urban culture.
