Politics: Estates / Urban Planning: Human societies occupy various regions of the earth, information and encounters are traded within all of these societies, but humans do much more than trade information; the space they are located in becomes part of a wider spatial order in which the people within that space are located into their own spatial form. Grime culture arose from council estates within London and people within council estates will be located with a greater degree of separation, dense within their own grouping but sparsely connected to the rest of the world.(reference 27 social logic of space) Alongside being physically separated from outer-estate life, council estates have become something of a class-symbol, a psycho-socio bruise given by …show more content…
It is from this thought process in which Dizzee Rascal aptly named his first album, Boy In Da Corner; eloquently incubating the feeling of claustrophobia simply within the title. Literature has already been published laying the foundations on the fact that Grime is a purely ethnographical form, this has always been the case since its emergence in the early 00’s and the aforementioned Boy In Da Corner release “depict[ing] a bleak world, devoid of aspiration: no one in their right minds would want to live there.” (reference page 7 my quotes) It is this fact that no-one wanted to live there which Grime artists used to their advantage, constantly writing lyrics about events which happened only within this dystopian- architectural landscape, dystopian being the keyword within that previous sentence as this is the terminology in which the architecture creates for itself, coming indefinitely before the people within
Globals, Locals, and Mobals: In the book “The Power of Place,” Harm de Blij introduces a new viewpoint of geography. Geography is much more than the terrain and physical makeup of the world. It is the culture, education, conditions, foods, politics, language, and opportunities. These things make people and places unique, and capture the true meaning of Human Geography.

Everyone is tempted by sex, drugs, easy money and the power generated from violence and vengeance. The film “Boyz N the Hood” follows Tre, who moves to a neighborhood in the socioeconomically disadvantaged South Central with his father and becomes involved with new friends. The movie best portrays how being of low socioeconomic status during that time had a devastating effect on an adolescents development. For many young people during that era, the future is a day that never came.
As a young man, while living and working with various ethnicities, I learned that certain elements of social location cannot be altered and this can affect our reality. It has been my personal experience that the social location of a particular group of people may generate a very different set of values and beliefs for them to a group in a different social location. Thus, this principle can help us to better understand our worldview and its effects on the way we view and interpret other cultures.
Boyz N the Hood (1991) tells the story of three young African-American boys, Trey, Ricky and Doughboy, growing up in a lower-class neighborhood in South Central Los Angeles. The movie is based off the life o a young black man living with his mom and moving to Watts, California to live with his dad. The movie brings friendship, parenthood, violence, and revenge into one concept of how parts of the country are.
Notably, in Anthem, it is shown plenty of times through and through that citizens of this society have a fear of the outside world, which is a trait of dystopia. Such as when the street sweepers were working and in his thoughts Equality 2521 mentioned the Uncharted Forest, “about which
Most of grime 's stars, come from deprived London boroughs like Hackney and Newham, where gun crime is out of control. But it may also have something to do with the sound itself - unlike two-step garage, its predecessor, grime is intrinsically claustrophobic and furious.
To illustrate, In Pratt’s essay “The Arts of the Contact Zone” she uses the word “Contact Zones” to refer “to social spaces where cultures(people of the dominant discourse and the “other) meet, clash, and grapple with each other.” (319) Such as when people assume you are quiet, trouble, or stupid (to name a few.) When the vast majority looks at you like they are the superior ones, that they have all the top name clothes, shoes & hairstyle and yours are just so passé in their shallow
Everyone has their own culture, whether they realize it or not. Some people have distinct cultures, but others struggle with the idea of having a specific culture and cannot figure theirs out. In the novel Uglies, Scott Westerfeld uses cultural, physical, and geographical surroundings to demonstrate the impacts and control Special Circumstances has on society, while Tally struggles to break away and fix the operation.
Someone said, "It's a good place for the kids to come--they don't have to hang out on the streets if they're here"(Hollday). Hollday wrote this because if the kids did not express their feelings by rock or punk music or slam dancing then they would have expressed it by killing people, and stealing from stores.
The climb to the top is sometimes more rewarding than the prizes at the top. The song “Hood” was created in 2015 by Tablo and Joey Badass. Tablo and Joey Badass are from opposite sides of the world and they also rap from opposite point of views. Tablo uses the narrative techniques to reference the Korean philosophy Han in order to give the audience an idea of what motivates his character to keep working hard. Badass uses narrative techniques when speaking about money because money equates to success for many people and he wants to eliminate the idea that money destroys all evil.
In Kim Dovey’s Becoming Places, she begins by introducing the concepts of place and space. As Dovey distinguishes between the two concepts, she explains that place tends to connect social and spatial, whereas space is simply concerned on the physical space itself. In other words, as Dovey describes, “while a space has physical dimensions,” intensity" gives rise to the “potency” and “primacy” of place (Dovey, pg. 3). Dovey goes on to explain the general use of place in academic discourse and how it tends to differ from the use of the concept in everyday life. From a philosophical standpoint, place has emerged from the Greek topos, a concept which stresses the inseparable nature of both place and being or existence.
Soja suggests that although historical and social imaginations of a community give a good insight to what a society is this dialectic is not enough when you want to have a full understanding of how a community behave (Soja). He suggests that the spaces in which people occupy (spatiality) should be adopted with the same importance and a trialectic approach should be adopted (Soja).
I changed my mind about rap music. Growing up, I never really liked it, the quick beats, the vast usage of inappropriate words not equipped for my adolescent ears disgusted me. I associated rap music as being "dirty," only discussing explicit topics and having no real meaning. While everyone else in high school was blaring Drake and Lil Wayne in the parking lots, I was perfectly okay with listening to Demi Lovato or John Legend. During my sophomore year of high school, my friend kept pestering me to listen to the Hamilton soundtrack, and even though the songs were raps, I realized I loved it. Eventually, I started to not associate all rap music as detrimental and discovered that some rappers rapped about important messages of adversity, conflict, and pain. This lead me to listen to Chance the Rapper's "Coloring Book, " Childish Gambino's "Red Bone and J Cole's "4 Your Eyez Only." I realized that rap is just poetry with accompaniment, poetry that has the rhythm and style to bring generations of people together.
