In 5-8 pages [typed/double spaced], give your analysis of Jeff Chang’s Can’t Stop/Won’t Stop. Your paper must do the following:
1. Critique Chang’s analysis of the social, political and economic context for the elements of Hip Hop you choose to emphasize during the period covered in the loop. Choose no fewer than three of the “elements of Hip Hop”;
2. Compare developments in Hip Hop since 2001 to the “state of Hip Hop” in each of the four “loop” periods covered by Chang. What are some differences and similarities between Hip Hop since 2001 and in the previous periods?
3. Explain (in no less than 1 page) how your analysis of Hip Hop has changed over the course of the semester as a result of reading Chang and participating in class discussions. Cite no fewer than two separate class sessions and two references to Chang’s book.
